The book is about WWII battles in the 1940's. Veterans tell their stories about what happend on a quiet Sunday morning. The Americans hear roaring engines and don't know what the noise is, until it's too late. Pearl Harbor is pounded by Japanese fighter planes. The American troops are unaware and lose several thousand air planes and a few ships. Later in the war America dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan ending the war in the Pacific. In Europe America had another problem. The Nazi's of Germany were killing Jews for no reason but hatred. Working with the European troops they finally stopped the war. I enjoyed this book because it gave me more information about WWII. It's really interesting to hear the differnt stories about the American troops and how the war started and ended.
