About This Item
New York: Harcourt Brace & Company - An Odyssey Book, 1991. 6th Printing . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5" x 7 1/2. 179 Pages. Reprint of the 1971 Edition. Tight straight book with no marks or stamps. Minor cover edge wear. On December 7, 1941, Americans were shocked to hear that Pearl Harbor had been devastated in a Japanese air raid. The harbor was believed invulnerable because of its isolation and the highly developed security net surrounding it. Theodore Taylor looks at Japanese intelligence work and at American anti-intelligence efforts, which were often careless or ineffective. He shows that although the United States possessed advanced technology such as radar and Purple, a top-secret code breaker, the information gathered was often discarded or misclassified. But once the raid was launched, bravery abounded-on both sides.
