It covers everything from the history of WWII to the details of the attack, and more. Find out interesting, little-known facts such as how the U.S. aircraft carriers that the Japanese had planned to attack weren’t on base at the time, and how the surviving structure of one of the U.S. ships still leaks fuel to this day. The unique details, along with the clever interior illustrations, make this series stand out from the competition.
