This is the new book by Jeff Shaara, a novel of Pearl Harbor. I preordered it from Amazon + it came in last week. It was so good I read it in 2 days, just couldn't put it down. As the author writes in the forward; there are dates that stay in our minds always, be they July 4, 1776, June 6, 1944, November 22, 1963, September 11, 2001, or in this case December 7, 1941. It is a great book + I recommend it highly.
