7 December 1941. 7 o'clock in the morning. Japanese bombers and fighters sweep down by the hundreds on the naval base at Pearl Harbor.

The surprise attack has one objective: to destroy the American fleet and allow Hirohito's empire to take control of the Pacific. And the operation will be a success: the raid enables Imperial Navy pilots to sink numerous warships and destroy nearly 200 aircraft. But it will precipitate the entry of the United States into the war and the final defeat of Japan. Through the testimonies of American and Japanese soldiers and very impressive unpublished photographs,

Dan van der Vat brings back to life the day that changed the course of the Second World War. The most famous air raid of 1939–1945, told hour by hour and superbly illustrated.
