Pearl Harbor and Hawaii

"In piecing together this valuable, minute-by-minute account of the events leading to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the bombing itself, and its aftermath, the editors of the Army Times Publishing Company have drawn heavily on firsthand accounts and original interviews as well as extensive archival research. They move back and forth between Washington and Honolulu pointing out the shortsightedness and general incompetence that allowed the American fleet to be surprised despite the several hints and in some instances clear-cut evidence of the Japanese plans during the week that preceded the attack."
