A Day Of Infamy December 7, 1941 is one of the most infamous days in the history of the United States, when Japan brutally and mercilessly attacked Pearl Harbor. It also happens to be one of those events where no matter how much time passes, it still remains so significant and ramifying that we are led to question our knowledge, and whether or not it was the cause of the entrance of the U.S to the impending and inevitable second world war. Numerous books have been written on the subject, each author blending fact and opinions to create what they feel is a “historically correct piece of evidence”, but none ever written are as renowned and thorough as Walter Lord’s Day of Infamy. Even sixty years after the attacks on Pearl Harbor, his compilation of first hand accounts dealing with that tragic day shed some light on the denial these attacks have brought forth.
