Focuses on the Japanese perceptions and decision making that led them to seek a conflict with America, and offers a look into their war strategy. This work sheds light on the events leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and examines how different decisions might have profoundly changed the history that was yet to unfold.
After their "New York Times" bestselling series on the American Civil War, Speaker Newt Gingrich and historian William R. Forstchen now turn to the events leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and examine how different decisions might have profoundly changed the history that was yet to unfold. "Pearl Harbor" departs from conventional WWII novels - it focuses on the Japanese perceptions and decision making that led them to seek a conflict with America, and offers an unprecedented look into their war strategy. With Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, and two of his officers who planned and led the attack on Pearl Harbor, the authors yet again take history down an alternate path of speculation as they did with the "New York Times" bestselling "Civil War" series by asking the question of what might have happened if Yamamoto directly led the attack, rather than the far more timid Admiral Nagumo, who ordered retreat after the first two strikes on that "Day of Infamy."

Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, is the author of several bestselling books, including "Gettysburg" and "Grant Comes East." He is a member of the Defense Policy Board and co-chair of the UN Task Force, is the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for major generals, served in Congress for twenty years, and was "Time" magazine's 1995 "Man of the Year." He is also the founder of the Center for Health Transformation. He resides in Virginia with his wife, Callista. The Gingrich family includes two daughters, two sons-in-law, and two grandchildren."" William R. Forstchen, Ph.D., is a Faculty Fellow at Montreat College in Montreat, North Carolina. He received his doctorate from Purdue University and specialized in the American Civil War. He is the author of more than forty books, including the award-winning "We Look Like Men of War, " a young-adult novel about an African-American regiment that fought at the Battle of the Crater; which is based upon his doctoral dissertation. William is a pilot and is currently restoring a replica of a P-51 Mustang. He resides near Asheville, North Carolina, with his wife, Sharon, and daughter, Meghan.
