520 _aFranklin Delano Roosevelt proclaimed it "A day that will live in infamy": December 7, 1941, the one date from the Second World War that almost every American knows by heart.

The visual record of the day includes not just stunning black-and-white shots but also vivid color photos showing the American fleet under attack and burning. Pearl Harbor makes lavish use of these historical photos to vividly re-create what it felt like to be there during every key moment of the battle. A compelling narrative by
