Pearl Harbor: From Infamy to Greatness
- Date: Wednesday, December 07, 2016
- Time: 5:00 pm
- Location: William G. McGowan Theater, Washington, DC
According to author Craig Nelson, the America we live in today was born, not on July 4, 1776, but on December 7, 1941, when the Japanese suddenly and savagely attacked the United States, killing 2,403 men—and forced America’s entry into World War II. Pearl Harbor: from Infamy to Greatness follows the military personnel, diplomats, Emperor, and President as they engineer, fight, and react to this dramatic moment in world history.
