Pearl Harbor: From Infamy to Greatness

In the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor 20 Naval ships, including eight enormous battleships, and 300 airplanes were destroyed. More than 2,000 Americans soldiers and sailors died, and another 1,000 were wounded. There were also numerous civilians killed and wounded. Craig Nelson has written a detailed account of the events leading up to the attack, the chaos and carnage that ensued, and how the US ultimately triumphed when the Japanese were defeated at the end of World War II. The book is titled Pearl Harbor from Infamy to Greatness. Mindy Todd hosts this interview on The Point.
