Vtg "AND I WAS THERE PEARL HARBOR MIDWAY BREAKING THE SECRETS" EDWIN LAYTON BOOK

Description

The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was arguably THE defining moment of the 20th century. In his 1985 memoir "And I Was There", Rear Admiral Edwin Layton, the former Pacific Fleet intelligence officer, recounted the US intelligence failures and mishaps that led to the disaster, and how just 6 months later an incredibly accurate and detailed intelligence analysis resulted in the US victory at Midway. Admiral Layton's book is considered one of the classic works on the subject.
