In “Countdown to Pearl Harbor,” Pulitzer Prize-winning author Steve Twomey vividly retells and reappraises the events leading to the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec. 7, 1941.
The narrative is told through a handful of key protagonists. By looking at personalities rather than dates and events, Twomey shows how overconfident individuals can make assumptions and basic errors that change the course of history. He also manages to inject suspense and tension into a tale whose ending we all know.
