In Washington, the U.S. & Japanese governments move toward confrontation. In Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito listens for the first reports of war. Japanese landings in SE Asia are timed to coincide with carrier-plane & suicide-sub attacks on Hawaii. In Russia, the German onslaught crests against the counterattacks of the Red Army. In North Africa, Rommel discovers his limits. In Nazi-occupied Europe, Hitler s final solution is given its first grisly trial run. Events are revealed in hour-by-hour simultaneous time as scenes shift from frontlines to home fronts. Maps & photos.
