Battlefield expert Robert Mueller reviews the why and how the Japanese almost wiped out the American Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop.
Eighty years ago, Japanese warplanes appeared over the Hawaiian Islands to launch a surprise aerial bombardment of American air and naval installations, which propelled the United States into the Second World War. Using individual stories of the men who responded to the attack, Mueller presents the tactics and the consequences of the most treacherous assault ever launched upon American soil. The program ends with a review of the surviving relics and a visit to National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
