Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days to the Attack by Steve Twomey - 4* - My Review

This book provides a detailed look at the days leading up to Pearl Harbor, what happened, when, and who was involved. The author has obviously researched this topic in depth and recounts the facts in a way that keeps the reader’s attention. It is a gripping account. Though the subtitle indicates it covers “the twelve days to the attack,” it is, in fact, much more extensive. Twomey does not shy away from revealing the reasons behind the lack of preparedness, exposes the communications gaps, the attitudes of the time (hubris, racism), and how a confluence of factors led to the surprise attack. Considering its subject, it is shorter and more direct than many accounts I have read. Recommended for those interested in the history of WWII.
