Publisher Description
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched an attack against U.S. naval forces stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. But what if the Japanese followed up their air assault with an invasion and occupation of Hawaii? This is the question explored by Harry Turtledove in Days of Infamy, with frightening implications. With American military forces subjugated and civilians living in fear of their conquerors, there is no one to stop the Japanese from using the islands' resources to launch an offensive against America's western coast.

A starkly realistic view of what might have been had the Japanese followed the bombing of Pearl Harbor with a land invasion and occupied Hawaii.... Exciting.

" This one was fun. Turtledove always excels at WWII. This one is a land invasion of Pearl Harbor following the bombing. Clever and very well thought through. "
— Reuben, 2/24/2013 -
" If you live in Hawaii and like history, this is a great read because the locations are so familiar. "
— Lee, 2/21/2013 -
" An interesting take on if Japan invaded and conquered Hawaii after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Very good but not great book, non-memorable characters and easy to predict what is going to happen, but enjoy the concept... "
— Justin, 1/9/2013 -
" It took awhile for me to get into this book, but I did enjoy it. Alternate history can sometimes be quite disturbing. I wanted a different end to the book, but all in all it was a good read. "

" i am too young for this book. i think it's supposed to be for adults... "
— Nicole, 6/22/2012 -
" not too bad, but it did take a bit to get thru the middle part of the book for me. I think the 2nd book will be even better though. "
— Tony, 3/7/2012 -
" Pretty typical Turtledove alternate history, but nothing that really grabbed me. It wasn't bad and it was a pretty quick read but I probably won't read the rest of the series. "
— Redsteve, 2/24/2012 -
" This book was a GREAT read! If you ever imagined what history would be like if one or two things were different, this is the book to start with! "
— Cj, 2/22/2012 -
" Part 1 of the series on WWII ... presents a great "what if" scenario on if the Japanese had brought a ground force along with the aerial bombardment of Oahu. "
— Zach, 1/31/2012 -
" The story is interesting but the author repeats ideas/phrases quite a bit, with almost the exactly same wording, which I found irritating at times. "
— Frank, 11/26/2011 -
" Love Alt History books and Harry Turtledove is one of the masters of this genre. What if we lost at Pearl Harbor? Read on... :) "
— Mark, 10/20/2011 -
" Harry Turtledove runs hot and cold with me. Some of his books are ABSOLUTELY brilliant! (Ruled Britania) and some are just idiotic. (Guns of the south, Southerners travel back in time with AK47's to change the civil war outcome. Cmon!) Turtledove should have been beaten for that one. "
