Summary

Day of Infamy is Walter Lord's gripping, vivid re-creation of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Sunday, December 7, 1941. The listener accompanies Admiral Nagumo's task force as it sweeps toward Hawaii; looks on while warning after warning is ignored on Oahu; and is enmeshed in the panic, confusion, and heroism of the final attack.

A Seminal Work

Day of Infamy

I picked up Day of Infamy from a Audible Recommendation, and was really impressed with it.

It balances knowledge and depth well - while the author displays a clear understanding of the events he balances it well so the narrative doesn't become turgid. The writing is now sixty years old and it shows in the style. At points it's difficult to tell weather the book influences Hollywood or Hollywood influences the book. At times characters and situations can feel a little unreal.

The narration is generic, the narrator is clear and keeps the narrative moving, but the style does feel outdated.

Saying all that I would look at other Walter Lord books.
