About Gordon W. Prange

Gordon W. Prange (1910–1980) was a professor of history at the University of Maryland and a World War II veteran. He served as the chief historian on General Douglas MacArthur’s staff during the postwar military occupation of Japan. His 1963 Reader’s Digest article “Tora! Tora! Tora!” was later expanded into the acclaimed book At Dawn We Slept, which was completed, along with other books such as Miracle at Midway, by his colleagues Donald M. Goldstein and Katherine V. Dillon after his death.

This was very informative of the nuances of our military and political leaderships during the buildup to WWII. A bit swamped with details at times, this was the most detailed exposure to what occurred in the months, weeks and days (and yes...Hours and Minutes!) up to the Pearl Harbor attack.......more
