Pearl Harbor : Japan's attack and America's entry into World War II
Melber, Takuma2022
Books
Melber breathes new life into the dramatic events that unfolded before, during and after Pearl Harbor by putting the perspective of the Japanese attackers at the centre of his account. This is the dimension commonly missing in most other histories of Pearl Harbor, and it gives Melber the chance to provide a fuller account of the battle, its background and its consequences. He sheds new light on long negotiations that went on between the Japanese and Americans in 1941, and confusion and argument among the Japanese political and military elite. He shows how US intelligence and military leaders in Washington failed to interpret correctly the information they had and to draw the necessary conclusions about the Japanese war intentions in advance of the attack.
