A live recount of the darkest hours

Like watching a love show of history, simply brilliant perspective of the darkest hours in history.
Pearl harbor was a much bigger strategic blunder than i previously thought.

2.5 stars. Larson’s gift is his ability to bring drama to historical events, but in this novel, the factual details simply overwhelm the sense of plot. Not my favorite of his, despite the compelling subject matter.
