He starts by scrutinising the circumstances and decisions that prompted the attack and left the United States so unprepared, looking at Japan's objectives in South-East Asia, the political and economic developments which drew them into conflict, and at American strategic thought.  The core of the book, however, concerns the events of 7 December 1941 itself, as seen through the eyes of both Japanese and American participants, Slackman recounts the experiences of these people and included stories and anecdotes from over a hundred interviews with survivors. His use of contemporary documents and firsthand personal accounts presents us with a remarkably intense and detailed telling of the attack.   He goes on to examine the aftermath of Pearl Harbour and all its consequences. While it was a short-term success for the Japanese, the attack led to the end of American isolationism and changed the course of the war.  With its central focus on the unfolding human drama and its succinct analyses of the events before and after the attack, Target: Pearl Harbor is an absorbing and detailed account of one of the most significant days of the Second World War.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49597252108561,"sku":"GOR009527633","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49645263683857,"sku":"GOR005419651","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0712668519.jpg?v=1750944555"},{"product_id":"remembering-pearl-harbor-the-story-of-the-u-s-s-arizona-memorial-book-slackman-michael-9780917859120","title":"Remembering Pearl Harbor: The Story of the U.S.S.

Lawrence wrote it in 1916 and did his best to have it published then; but his previous novel had been banned and The First Women in Love was rejected. It shares much of its material with the final version of the novel but its central relationships are dissimilar and the ending radically different. Arguably one of Lawrence's greatest works in its own right, it is a novel searingly addressed to the world of the First World War.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49810256986385,"sku":"CIN091785912XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/091785912X.jpg?v=1750980505"},{"product_id":"target-book-michael-slackman-9780824813789","title":"Target","description":"Target: Pearl Harbor takes a fresh look at the air raid that plunged America into World War I by scrutinizing the decisions and attitudes that prompted the attack and left the United States unprepared to mount a successful defense.
