An account of the five most crucial days in 20th century diplomatic history: from Pearl Harbor to Hitlerâs declaration of war on the United States.
What The Reviewers Say
... absorbing.
... an almost heartbeat by heartbeat account of December 7, 1941 and the four days that followed.
One benefit of such a tightly focused analysis is that it reminds us that contingency is ever-present in our history and traditional narratives are often written with the benefit of hindsight.
... an engaging and insightful account of the forces that shaped Hitler’s fateful decision..
