The true story of Pearl Harbor as you've never read it
before--action-packed, informative, and told through the eyes of a
diverse group of people who experienced the terror of the unprecedented
attack firsthand.
A single day changed the course of history: December 7, 1941. Nobody in
America knew Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was coming. Nobody was
prepared for the aftermath. It became a defining moment from which the
country never truly recovered.
Perfect for fans of Steve Sheinkin and Deborah Heiligman, this
unflinching narrative puts readers on the ground in Pearl Harbor through
the stories of real people who experienced the attack and its
aftereffects. It alternates between the sweeping views and fateful
decisions of leaders such as FDR and on-the-ground accounts from
soldiers and sailors of all backgrounds as well as an array of other
unique participants and observers. Attacked! sheds new, compelling
light onto a history we think we know, what it means to be American, and
the enduring lessons from an event we never saw coming.
