The book starts about talking about the tensions that were building between the United States and Japan years before Pearl Harbor. The United States was fearful of the Axis Powers of Germany, Italy and Japan acquiring too much land and power. The United States did everything they could diplomatically to not allow Japan to acquire the resources needed to continue with its war in Asia. Japan realized they needed to attack the United States and deal a knockout blow to the United States Pacific Fleet stationed in Hawaii. On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and dealt the United States a major blow. It was not the knockout blow they were looking for as many of the ships that sunk were recommissioned a few months later and were used to fight the duration of the war. Over 2,000 servicemen were killed by Japan’s attack. A few day later, President Roosevelt went to Congress and asked them to declare war on the Empire of Japan. Congress passed the resolution and the United States was then officially in World War II. A few days later Germany declared war on the United States. The book was very informative and had very good insight. I liked how the story had both Japan and America’s differing perspectives and the escalating tensions between the two countries. The pictures were authentic and helped the reader visualize the historical event much more. Good book to have a student learn about World War II and Pearl Harbor.
