Hornfischer, James D

Chronicles the experiences of the Navy pilots who attacked the mightiest ships of the Japanese Navy with makeshift weapons on October 25, 1944.

Timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, here is an unprecedented account of the extraordinary World War II air, land, and sea campaign that brought the U.S. Navy to the apex of its strength and marked the rise of the United States as a global superpower.

Hornfischer brings to life one of the most harrowing sea battles ever fought.
