Attack on Pearl Harbor--The First Wave

Paridon and Parshall deliver a mammoth two-hour-plus breakdown of the first wave of the Pearl Harbor attack, combining what were originally two separate episodes. Jon Parshall's operational and tactical precision — he literally wrote the book on Japanese carrier warfare — makes this a superior treatment of an event that's often told badly. Granular detail on the attack waves, Japanese planning, and what happened ship by ship.
