The complete story of the Pacific War, including the testimony of international eyewitnesses to the events as they happened.

ROAD TO WAR
Even though Japan had fought on the Allied side in the first World War, its economic troubles during the 1920s allowed its military to gain complete control over the government, leading to its eventual joining with the Axis powers in 1940. Eyewitnesses and experts have come together to give accounts of events leading up to the devastating attack at Pearl Harbor. 

DAY OF INFAMY
The bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941 led on to the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway, and eventually to the dropping of the atom bomb and the unconditional surrender of Japan. Over sixty years after the event, eyewitnesses and experts have come together to commemorate this occasion and to provide accounts of the bombing and the events following on from Pearl Harbor.
