Part One Of Three Parts

PEARL HARBOR: THE VERDICT OF HISTORY is the sequel to Prange's earlier book AT DAWN WE SLEPT. PEARL HARBOR sorts out the responsibility for the Pearl Harbor attack. It deals not with action, but with reaction. It is the definitive analysis of the acts, failures to act, and the mental attitudes that made the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor possible.

"A more important clue to explaining the Pearl Harbor disaster than even the most intriguing revelations about code breaking or espionage." (Washington Post Book Review)

"Logically organized and clearly presented...a useful introduction and guide to the major arguments and areas of controversy." (The New York Times)
