Description

At 7:53 a.m., December 7, 1941, America's national consciousness and confidence were rocked as the first wave of Japanese warplanes took aim at the U.S. Naval fleet stationed at Pearl Harbor.

At Dawn We Slept is the unparalleled and exhaustive account of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Through extensive research and interviews with American and Japanese leaders, Gordon W. Prange has written a remarkable historical account of the assault that, sixty years later, America cannot forget.

As intense and absorbing as a suspense novel.
