Pearl: December 7, 1941
by Daniel Allen Butler
Pearl: December 7th, 1941 covers both the lead-up to the attack and the attack itself. It’s very good on making clear the complex politics of Japanese-US relations before Pearl Harbor and why the Japanese felt they were left with no choice but to attack. The book throws a lot of light on the US’s catastrophic misunderstandings of Japanese objectives and intentions.
