December 7th, 1941: A date which will live in infamy. Just prior to 7:00 AM, a swarm of Japanese aircraft appeared over the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, in one of history’s most dastardly sneak attacks. When it was over, five of the U.S. Fleet’s battleships stationed at Pearl Harbor were sunk or sinking, and the rest were damaged. Several other ships and almost all Hawaii-based combat planes were also destroyed. In all, over 2400 Americans were killed. The attack on Pearl Harbor united the country as never before, with a unity of purpose that led to the utter defeat of the Axis powers. Yet, well over 60 years later, the questions remain as to just how the Japanese were able to pull off such a surprise.
In Pearl Harbor: 60 Years of Echoes, the veterans who were there vividly recall that day, and the meaning of Pearl Harbor decades letter.
