More DescriptionFor sixty years, myths about Pearl Harbor have proliferated. After six years of intense research, naval historian Michael Gannon has finally separated fact from fiction to re-create the dramatic events surrounding that fateful December morning. Drawing on largely untapped U.S. and Japanese primary sources-including overlooked or unknown military orders, code intercepts, aide memoirs, eyewitness interviews, and private correspondence-the author builds a stunning narrative that penetrates a smokescreen of cover-ups, top-level military misdirections, and faulty diplomatic decisions. In Pearl Harbor Betrayed, Gannon has accomplished what heretofore seemed impossible: he has set the record straight about the most exhaustively examined and debated event in our entire history.
