Day of Infamy is Walter Lord's gripping, vivid re-creation of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Sunday, December 7, 1941. The listener accompanies Admiral Nagumo's task force as it sweeps toward Hawaii; looks on while warning after warning is ignored on Oahu; and is enmeshed in the panic, confusion, and heroism of the final attack.©1985 by Walter Lord (P)1998 by Blackstone Audiobooks World War II Wars & Conflicts Military War Air Force Military Fiction War Fiction World War Ii Fiction

Though Walter Lord's Day of Infamy is nearly 50 years old it does not feel dated-in fact, if anything it seems fresh because of the sheer amount of first-hand anecdotes which were only available immediately following the war. Lord weaves many compelling stories of American, Japanese and Hawaiian participants of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Tom Parker's reading is excellent, as always. This is a classic that I highly recommend.

Engaging Story, Great Reading

This exquisite examination of the battle of Pearl Harbour is superb.
Even the acknowledgement section - at the end - is a litany of relevant names and sources that validate and demonstrate the thoroughness of the research.
If you are a history buff this is as near perfection as possible for reportage of an iconic moment in WW2.
And Grover Gardner, as always, THE best.

Even the Acknowledgements Are Great
