About this deal

Clayton Trutor (11/1/2023) Hitler’s American Gamble: Pearl Harbor and Germany’s March to Global War. Unlike its enemies in Europe and its potential Japanese antagonist in Asia, Britain faced having to fight across two continents and two giant oceans. In fact, it was Adolf Hitler who declared war on the United States—four days after Pearl Harbor, on Dec. There were many hinge moments in the Second World War: Hitler’s decision to invade Russia in 1941, the Battles of Midway and Stalingrad in 1942 and D-Day in 1944. Marc Gallachio’s 2020 Unconditional presents the intense debates across Washington, DC, on how to end the war in the Pacific as a durable triumph of liberal internationalism over historical American anti-interventionism.

Yet the resources on which its population depended to live and its armed forces depended to fight came from distant colonies and, increasingly, the U. com contains daily features, photo galleries and over 25,000 articles originally published in our nine magazines. It didn’t work out that way, in large part because the Allies did a remarkable job of coordinating their efforts while the Axis powers failed at forging a global strategy.

Yet none was more pivotal than the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which brought the United States into the war and ultimately doomed the Axis powers to defeat. His book Loserville: How Professional Sports Remade Atlanta and Atlanta Remade Professional Sports is available from the University of Nebraska Press. Gamble’s dissection of December 1941 is unquestionably one of the most compelling and eye-opening monographs on World War II in recent memory.

To this list add Brendan Simms’s and Charlie Laderman’s similarly excellent Hitler’s American Gamble. As the world descended into a “truly global war,” Britain, though still indispensable to the fight against the Axis, was forced to confront its loss of global pre-eminence, not to its enemies, but to its new superpower allies. Most Americans, if asked, would probably say that Franklin Roosevelt declared war on Nazi Germany, following the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. The war declaration ranks as Hitler’s worst strategic blunder—even worse than his decision to invade the Soviet Union in June 1941, when he pitted the Wehrmacht against an opponent with much greater manpower reserves and strategic depth.The coauthors offer a gripping blow-by-blow of the five-day span between Pearl Harbor and Germany’s December 12, 1941, declaration of war on the United States.
