This year marks the 50th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which plunged a basically self-absorbed United States directly into the world's worst conflagration. In this first book-length, annotated bibliography, Smith provides more than 1,500 citations from eleven languages. The published literature cited covers virtually all factors surrounding the attack and its 1941 background: economic, political, diplomatic, racial, biographical, planning, intelligence, operations, and hardware.
