Tracing the history of Japanese aggression from 1853 onward, Hoyt masterfully addresses some of the biggest questions left from the Pacific front of World War II.
Just after daybreak on December 7, 1941, the roar of approaching aircraft shattered the early morning calm of the Hawaiian Islands. Moments later, fighter planes and bombers of the Imperial Japanese Air Force launched a relentless assault against American ships and sailors stationed at Pearl Harbor -- crippling nearly the entire United States Pacific Fleet and plunging a reluctant nation into war. Using the latest up-to-date information and documentation, noted historian Edwin P. Hoyt tells the complete story of Pearl Harbor from a uniquely modern perspective.
Written in the fast-paced, dramatic style Hoyt's readers expect is this skillful rendering of a mesmerizing period of military history, and a new portrait of the man who dominated an era. 32 photos.

The true story of the most extraordinary and little-known escapades of a German light cruiser called into the thick of battle during World War I.
Hoyt shows how these gifts, wedded to ruthless ambition and a life-long conviction that he was born to lead the masses, were to account for Mussolini's successes, first as a brilliant young newspaper editor and charismatic leader of the Italian Socialists, and finally as the creator of the Italian Fascist Empire.
