- Summary:
- "Following Pearl Harbor, commanders in the Pacific and Hawaii were accused of dereliction of duty and relieved of command.

This re-examines Pearl Harbor to answer the questions: were these convenient scapegoats; and was the attack the surprise Americans were led to believe?"-- Provided by publisher.
