"what did the government know about the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This is the question the author wants to answer. from the point of view of the author, its not much of a question. its an easy read as Toland takes you through the days and mouths before the event through the trials of the leaders who were on the ground in the years following. recommended to anyone interested in ww2 and how the USA got involved."
