| The 60th anniversary edition of a classic book. Lord's stirring account of the unexpected Pearl Harbor aerial attack has had a powerful effect on more than a million readers. The title is based on President Roosevelt’s famous announcement: "Yesterday, December 7 -- 1941 a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the empire of Japan . . .." According to Publisher “In Day of Infamy, Walter Lord traces in brilliant detail the human drama of the great attack: the spies behind it; the Japanese pilots; the crews on the stricken warships; the men at the airfields and on the bases; the generals, the sailors, the housewives, and the children who responded to the attack with anger, numbness, and magnificent courage.” |
