Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days to the Attack

This is a riveting account of the lead-up to Pearl Harbor from a US perspective by Steve Twomey, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. He tells the story of how and why the US was caught out unawares on 7 December 1941.  Some in Washington were worried about a possible attack, messages were sent, but not understood clearly, or responded to. This is a description of events in line with the ‘cock-up’ theory of history.
