Synopsis "Day of Infamy: A Tribute to the Heroes of December 7, 1941"

The Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, a date President Roosevelt said "Will live in infamy," was perhaps the most cataclysmic event of the 20th Century. Even beyond the tragic loss of life, the destruction rained on the military might of the United States was devastating. Within two hours the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet was almost completely destroyed and America's air forces at Hawaii and in the Far East were nearly annihilated."Day of Infamy" takes the reader through the chronology of that fateful day through the actions of the 15 Sailors whose heroic actions in the midst of chaos and fear, earned them our nation's highest award, the Medal of Honor. The little known stories of other heroes, and interesting snippets of human interest, further enhance the narrative.Liberally illustrated with photos, maps, and pictures of individual heroes, this book is more than a history book - it is a look inside the human character of those who faced unbelievable odds in the most trying of times.Included within are the citations for all awards of the Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, Distinguished Service Cross, Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star, and Navy and Marine Corps Medal for actions on December 7, 1941.
