"This book was actually not quite what I was expecting (since my copy was missing it's dust jacket). I had picked it up expecting more of a description of Pearl Harbor. Instead, the book is a very detailed analysis of the information available before the attack, the decisions made by the people who might have been able to prevent the attack (from President Roosevelt to the commanders at Pearl Harbor) and a look at the problems that lead to the attack being so successful.
All the information is presented in a very detailed and yet clear way, and is easy to read and absorb. It doesn't have a strong narrative, which is usually something I need in the non-fiction I read, but it is accessible to people who haven't memorized all the major players and events of World War II."
