A detailed re-examination of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Day of Infamy that saw the USA enter World War II.
In this the first comprehensive treatment of Pearl Harbor since the early 1990s. respected Pacific War naval historian Mark E. Stille traces the road to war and the Japanese attack itself. He examines the role of the man behind the operation, Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the plan. The American preparations for an attack are also carefully reviewed. The heart of the book is a comprehensive narrative of Pearl Harbor along with an appreciation of its results placed in proper perspective.
In common with many of the major campaigns of the Pacific War, many myths surround the Battle of Pearl Harbor, and, amongst others, Mark explores and dismantle the myth of Yamamoto as a military genius, as well as the myth that the attack was brilliantly planned. Long regarded as brilliant strike, Mark argues in Pearl Harbor that the attack was instead a tactical disappointment, an operational failure and a strategic disaster.(P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews
With a detailed, exciting examination of the Japanese plans and battle action, Mark Stille has addressed a considerable gap in the story of the Attack on Pearl Harbor. Highly recommended.
Mark Stille continues his yeoman’s work in the field of Pacific War history by bringing his personal experience as a naval intelligence officer to bear on the most enduring and controversial surprise attack of them all—Pearl Harbor.
This is now the definitive history of the Pearl Harbor attack. Comprehensive details are provided, false assumptions corrected, and alternatives suggested. Above all, a persuasive explanation of why the end result was so disastrous for Japan.
