Pearl
Harbor 1941 : The Day of Infamy (Osprey Military Campaign Series 62)
by Carl Smith.
Sunday December 7, 1941 saw the dawn of modern warfare. Air superiority
and surprise led to the shattering of the superior US Pacific fleet in
one stroke. The full might of Japanese naval aviation power was hurled
against the United States as six aircraft carriers disgorged their full
complements in two waves. The attack on Pearl Harbor was either a brilliant
manoeuvre by an audacious strategist or unparalleled villainy and deception
by a supposedly friendly power. The attack on the home of the US Pacific
fleet precipitated the intervention of the United States into WWII, and
became a key event in world history. Amazon.com
