Gordon W. Prange Books in Order

Extensive research and interviews with American and Japanese participants reconstruct the planning, warnings and attack on Pearl Harbor. Prange examines the decisions and failures that preceded the raid and the events that drew the United States into war.

Six months after Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces seek a decisive victory at Midway. Accounts from both sides follow the intelligence work, tactical choices and chance events that allow the American fleet to reverse the course of the Pacific war.

Unresolved questions about Pearl Harbor drive this examination of intelligence, preparedness and responsibility. The authors revisit the evidence surrounding Japan’s surprise attack, asking why warnings failed to prevent one of the United States’ gravest military disasters.

Eyewitness accounts recreate the attack on Pearl Harbor as it unfolded throughout a single morning. Officers, servicemen and civilians respond in sharply different ways, revealing confusion, courage and the human experience behind the military catastrophe.

Soviet spy Richard Sorge poses as a Nazi journalist in Tokyo while gathering secrets from German and Japanese officials. His daring network and conspicuous personal life form part of an espionage operation that risks discovery at every turn.
