From the Back Cover
Long Day's Journey Into War recaptures the whirlwind events sweeping the globe on the calendar day that may be the most momentous of the twentieth century. In this riveting re-creation, the vast, worldwide scope of the major turning point of World War II comes to unforgettable life.In Washington, D.C., the U.S. and Japanese governments move toward irreversible confrontation. In Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito strains to hear, amid the crackling radio static, the first reports of war. Landings in Malaya and Thailand at midnight are timed to coincide across the thousands of miles of ocean with carrier-plane and suicide-sub attacks at daylight on Hawaii.In Russia, in the subzero snows, the German onslaught crests against the furious counterattacks of a Red Army rising from its ruins. In North Africa, in the torrid sands about besieged Tobruk, Rommel's Afrika Korps discovers its limits. In Nazi-occupied Europe, in a bleak Polish forest, Hitler's "final solution" is given its first grisly trial run.In the kaleidoscope of Stanley Weintraub's narrative, events reveal themselves in dramatic hour-by-hour simultaneous time as scenes shift from frontlines to home fronts. Meticulously researched, startling in its revelations and in its juxtaposition of events, Long Day's Journey Into War is gripping, riveting history. (6 X 9, 752 pages, b&w photos, maps)

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition First Printing. 706 Pages Indexed. This is the December 1992 First Printing. Remainder mark on bottom pages. No other defects noted to tight square book with near flawless interior un-read text pages. Illustrated with maps. This extraordinary work recaptures the whirlwind events sweeping the world on the calendar day that may be the most momentous of the twentieth century. A day that will live in infamy was President Franklin D. Roosevelt's characterization of the unquiet Sunday that was, on the western half of the globe, December 7, 1941. In this riveting re-creation, the vast, worldwide scope of the major turning point of World War comes to unforgettable life. Stanley Weintraub's meticulously researched, kaleidoscopic book is startling in its revelations and in its juxtaposition of events. It is gripping history. A superb look at the events which led to America's entry into World War II. Professor Weintraub goes beyond focusing on the bombing of Pearl Harbor to discuss the war in Europe and the actions of President Roosevelt in those crucial hours, and he brings the reader into the lives of not only high-level decision makers but also the activities of ordinary citizens for whom the bombing completely altered their lives. Daniel K. Inouye, U.S. Senator, Hawaii, World War II combat hero calls this book a masterly montage of what was going on around the world, hour by hour, the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. An engrossing verbal cinema that demonstrates the power of language in thousands of words that offer us what pictures cannot say. Contents: Maps, The Day Before December 6 1941, Long Day's Journey, The Day After December 8, Curtain Call Doomsday, and Sources and Strategies. Seller Inventory # 19681
