"The account that Butler lays out is very clear and easy to follow. It provides a series of dramatic moments and hits all the key elements of the story of Pearl Harbor that have appeared in the existing literature."—The Northern MarinerWhat happened at Pearl Harbor?What really happened?The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is one of those rare moments where, in the space of a few hours, the "hinge of Fate" turned and the course of history was utterly changed. Nearly eight decades later, it has become one of those events which almost everyone knows of, but hardly anyone seems to know about. How—and why—did the Empire of Japan and the United States of America collide on blood and flames that Sunday morning when the sun rose and the bombs fell?Pearl: December 7, 1941 is the story of how America and Japan, two nations with seemingly little over which to quarrel, let peace slip away, so that on that "day which will live in infamy," more than 350 dive bombers, high-level bombers, torpedo planes, and fighters of the Imperial Japanese Navy did their best to cripple the United States Navy''s Pacific Fleet, killing 2,403 American servicemen and civilians, and wounding another ...

In author-illustrator Nathan Hale’s Raid of No Return, go behind the scenes of World War II’s top-secret Doolittle Raid with the New York Times bestselling Hazardous Tales graphic novel series!“These books are, quite simply, brilliant. . . . Thrilling, bloody, action-packed stories from American history.” —New York Times Presented in the author’s instantly recognizable artistic and storytelling style, this colorful, exciting book of history for kids starts with a brief explanation of the events leading up to World War II and then describes the bombing of Pearl Harbor from both the Japanese and American points of view. The American response was a super-secret counterattack organized by stunt pilot Jimmy Doolittle. Just four months after Pearl Harbor, American crews would launch sixteen B-25 bombers from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet to drop bombs on the Japanese capital Tokyo and then fly to safety in China. Everything about the mission was as dangerous as it was secret. B-25s were not designed to take off from an aircraft carrier. Japan had formidable air defenses. There was no way to plan for landing in China or returning safely to America. The Doolittle Raid, as it became known, went down in military history as one ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A detailed re-examination of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Day of Infamy that saw the USA enter World War II.In this the first comprehensive treatment of Pearl Harbor since the early 1990s. respected Pacific War naval historian Mark E. Stille traces the road to war and the Japanese attack itself. He examines the role of the man behind the operation, Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the plan. The American preparations for an attack are also carefully reviewed. The heart of the book is a comprehensive narrative of Pearl Harbor along with an appreciation of its results placed in proper perspective.In common with many of the major campaigns of the Pacific War, many myths surround the Battle of Pearl Harbor, and, amongst others, Mark explores and dismantle the myth of Yamamoto as a military genius, as well as the myth that the attack was brilliantly planned. Long regarded as brilliant strike, Mark argues in Pearl Harbor that the attack was instead a tactical disappointment, an operational failure and a strategic disaster.

Válka proti Japonsku začala pro Spojené státy skutečným šokem. Tento otřes se zrodil v Pearl Harboru. „Tichomořský Gibraltar“ se stal nedělního rána 7. prosince 1941 cílem brilantně naplánovaného a mimořádně profesionálně realizovaného úderu japonského palubního letectva, startujícího z šesti nosičů, které tvořily součást uskupení Kidó Butai (Mobilní svaz) viceadmirála Naguma. Letadlové lodě Dai-ichi Kókú Kantai (1. vzdušného loďstva) Akagi, Kaga, Sóryú, Hiryú, Shokaku a Zuikaku i výkony císařských letců tak navždy vstoupily do historie. Sedmého prosince pro USA začala válka s dravou, kulturně zcela odlišnou asijskou mocností. Mýtus o nevyprovokovaném úderu na americké území, provedený navíc pod pláštíkem mírových jednání, se na dlouhá léta prosadil ve vnímání událostí a odrazil se v označení 7. prosince Dnem hanby (Day of Infamy). Úderu na Pearl Harbor je zasvěceno mimořádné množství knih a statí, rozebírajících tuto událost zásadní důležitosti (a to nejen pro průběh II. světové války) ze všech možných úhlů. Řada z nich je věnováno rovněž akcím triumfujícího císařského palubního letectva. Naopak operace amerických letadlových lodí, zejména relativně blízko Havaje se onoho osudového rána plavící USS Enterprise, jsou často pomíjeny.Přitom reakce amerických admirálů, důstojníků i příslušníků mužstva, nacházejících se 7. prosince v Pacifiku na lodích mimo přístav či v kabinách palubních letounů, ...

The Bay City Rollers were one of the brightest things to happen in the tumultuous 1970s, illuminating a dark decade marred by falling stock markets, a plummeting economy and industrial unrest. Alan Longmuir, an apprentice plumber from Edinburgh, was inspired by The Beatles to form a band in the 1960s. Firstly, he enlisted his brother and then his cousin and via throwing a dart at a map they eventually became the Bay City Rollers. Success was slow in coming but when it did it was beyond Alan’s (and almost everyone else’s) wildest dreams.A string of million selling records led to Rollermania – a mass-hysterical fan reaction not seen since Beatlemania. Like a wildfire it spread across the world. The Rollers’ juggernaut was out-of-control. Alan Longmuir recounts his surreal journey from the Dalry backstreets to the Hollywood hills and back to being a plumber. Along the way he punctures some of the myths and untruths that have swirled around the group.
