From Booklist:
The day that lives in infamy gets a quick but impressively wide-ranging look in this volume of the Turning Points in U.S. Military History series. Samuels’ clear-eyed prose makes it easy to grasp the global trajectories leading to the surprise attack, which resulted from a slow ratcheting up of tensions between the U.S. and Japan. Chapters alternate swiftly between American and Japanese points of view, with Admiral Yamamoto emerging as a fascinating figure who, despite the bold assault, predicted Japan’s eventual loss. The graphic design is gritty but spacious, and staggering aerial photos taken by Japanese pilots are used to impressive effect. Short sidebars pull out further info on the Lend-Lease Act, Zero planes, and more, and the narrative smartly dovetails with the story of Japanese internment camps. An invigorating place to start for report writers. Grades 5-8. --Daniel Kraus
