Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
Franklin Delano Roosevelt proclaimed it "a day that will live in infamy" - December 7, 1941, the one date from the Second World War that almost every American knows by heart. Pearl Harbor is an illustrated account of that momentous day. No other battle of the Pacific War was better documented in photographs than was Pearl Harbor. Official government photographers were busy that morning, but so were countless service personnel and shocked civilians. Even the Japanese navy photographed their preparations and the launch of the attack fleet. The visual record of the day includes not just stunning black-and-white shots but also vivid color photos showing the American fleet under attack and burning. Moving first-person reminiscences of persons who were there - Japanese and Americans, military and civilians, adults and children - give the pictures even greater immediacy.
