" I was intrigued to discover how, because we were such an isolationist nation, many civilians and even soldiers did not believe an actual attack was underway on Dec. 7, 1941. In a matter of thirty minutes, we went from being a completely neutral nation to one plunged into war, and this event certainly shaped our far-reaching military policy of today. "

" Read this years ago when it first came out. Lord provided a good narrative and overview of the Japanese "High Water Mark" in the Pacific. An ease, interesting and fact dotted book of the battle that still must be the most critical 10 minutes in world history; Just Luck or Devine Intervention? "

" This book did a excellent job of detailing the attack on pearl harbor! "

" While I gave Gardner's performance a single star for Flight of the Phoenix, he does a much better job of it in Day of Infamy. Probably because this is a story of American servicemen.

" This book does a good job of the minute-by-minute accounting of the events in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. However, it's not terribly engaging. I got halfway through (page 102 of 209 pages) before putting it down for a long time. "

" Walter Lord's history of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor remains popular decades after publication and its easy to see why. It is fast-paced, engaging, and makes history come alive. I do sometimes wish there was more depth to the parade of people who all too quickly pass through. "

" The classic account of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, including hundreds of eyewitness accounts. Still heart-stopping, all these decades later. "
