About this title

Synopsis

Target: Pearl Harbor takes a fresh look at the air raid that plunged America into World War II by scrutinizing the decisions and attitudes that prompted the attack and left the United States unprepared to mount a successful defense. The core of the book concerns the events of December 7, 1941, as seen through the eyes of participants, both American and Japanese, military and civilian. The author's use of contemporary documents and interviews with survivors has enabled him to present a vivid and evocative picture of that day.

Michael Slackman received degrees in history from the University of California, Berkeley, and San Diego State University. He has worked as a consulting historian for the US Navy and the National Park Service and has published extensively on the Pearl Harbor attack, including Remembering Pearl Harbour, and Pearl Harbor in Perspective.
