December 1941: Twelve Days That Began a World War

Evan Mawdsley. Suspenseful chronicle of the 12 days in December 1941 that would define the perimeters of the global conflagration. Mawdsley embarks on the action from the first day and never lets up in this crisp, chronological study--from the Japanese Imperial Conference's ratification of war on Dec. 1 against the United States, Britain and the Netherlands, setting in motion the Southern Operation invasion, to Germany's declaration of war on the U.S. on the 11th. A rigorous, sharp survey of this decisive moment in the war.--Kirkus (Check Catalog)
