Griffin "Begins what will be a fascinating alternative history of the war in the pacific."--"Roanoke"" Times " "The authors' research shines in accurate accounts of diplomatic maneuvering as well as the nuts-and-bolts of military action."--"Publishers Weekly" "The authors skillfully mix historical and fictional characters in an enjoyable and thought-provoking tale."--"Library Journal" "Masterful storytelling that not only captures the heroic highs and hellish lows of that horrific day that lives on in infamy--it resonates with today's conflicts and challenges."--William E. Butterworth IV, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Saboteurs" "A politician and a novelist, each an accomplished historian in his own right, are emerging as master authors of alternative history. In this "what if" treatment of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen combine their talents to make the diplomacy as suspenseful as the combat, even for readers who know what happens next-or think they know." --Dennis Showalter, former president of the Society of Military Historians "This book is not only a great read, it is a fascinating historical story that applies today in Iraq as it did in the Western Pacific in the late 30s and 40s."--Captain Alex Fraser, USN (Ret.)

Reseña del editor:

America is still reeling after epic events in Hawaii. The legendary admiral Bill Halsey is pitted against the notorious gambler Admiral Yamamoto - who has launched a fateful 'third-wave attack' on the island of Oahu - in a battle of wits, nerve, and skill. Meanwhile, the hunt for the Japanese fleet is on..."Days Of Infamy" stars an amazing array of characters - from President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, and the two great admirals to the U.S. pilots bravely facing the vastly superior Imperial Japanese Navy. A military tour de force, Gingrich and Forstchen's 'what if' novel is as much an homage to the survival of the real Pearl Harbor attack as it is a bold and thrilling take on America's entry into WWII.
