Road To Pearl Harbor 1941

"This is one of the best 'you are there' books to come along in a long time. It is mistitled, because the rest of the world was not waiting for Pearl Harbor to be attacked the way we seem to have waited, but never mind that. Mr. Collier tells a very good story in exciting fashion, and moreover he gets his facts right. He is equally skillful at dealing with Vichy France, Yugoslavia, Russia, Germany, and a host of other countries involved in the great conflict. This is the kind of popular history that keeps the reader entertained and informed and the professional historians on their toes."
