A work that is partly artistic, partly documentary, describing Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. It was precisely this event that marked the beginning of World War II for the United States.
From the narrator: In the book, the day of December 7 is recreated by the authors literally minute by minute. It also details the preparatory operations carried out by the Japanese fleet long before that, the transition of the Japanese carrier strike force across northern latitudes, and the actions of the Japanese submarine fleet. I. Bunich’s works are always presented to the reader as artistic. That is the author’s style—historical facts wrapped in an artistic shell—which makes this historical book interesting and accessible to a wide range of readers.
