Pearl HarborAvon Books, 1991 - 186 pàgines Just after daybreak on December 7, 1941, the roar of approaching aircraft shattered the early morning calm of the Hawaiian Islands. Moments later, fighter planes and bombers of the Imperial Japanese Air Force launched a relentless assault against American ships and sailors stationed at Pearl Harbor -- crippling nearly the entire United States Pacific Fleet and plunging a reluctant nation into war. Using the latest up-to-date information and documentation, noted historian Edwin P. Hoyt tells the complete story of Pearl Harbor from a uniquely modern perspective. |
