Part One: The Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor: A Reinterpretation

With author Jonathan Parshall

Join Jonathan Parshall, co-author of Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway and writer for the Naval College War Review, for a discussion on the Japanese preparations for the attack on Pearl Harbor. Japan was equipped with arguably the most powerful navy in the world, including a sophisticated carrier strike force and topnotch aviators. Parshall will review not only the creation of a cohesive tactical unit, but also the preparations and furious training for the infamous strike.
