Beschreibung
This gripping book dramatizes the extraordinarily compressed and terrifying period between the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and Hitler's declaration of war on the United States. These five days transformed the world and have shaped our own experience ever since. The book shows how this agonizing period had no inevitability about it and that innumerable outcomes were possible. A a superb work of history and a study in statecraft and political choices.
