A Tiger Jumped Through the Window: The Story of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, Mon., Dec. 7, 7 pm

The shout of “General Quarters” rang throughout the fleet. A historian once wrote that the command at Pearl Harbor was “swatting at mice, while a tiger jumped through the window.”

Explore the history of the acquisition of Pearl Harbor, the political background, eyewitness accounts and historical analysis of the attack that brought the United States into World War II. Uncover Japanese planning & secret innovations, secret code breaking efforts, American strategy & perceptions, and the interactions of individuals and the military. Importantly, and often overlooked, is the success of the response of the United States Army and Navy both to the attack, and future military actions resulting in the defeat of the Japanese Imperial forces.
