On December 7, 1941, Japanese aircraft carried out a devastating surprise bombing raid on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. This single act drew the U.S. into conflict with both Japan and its ally Germany. It marked a turning point in the course of World War II. What made Japan attack the U.S.-- the strongest country in the world? How did the attack influence the outcome of the war? In what way would the world be different today if the attack on Pearl Harbor had never happened? These questions are considered in this compelling account of one day that shook the world.
