December 1941. The Japanese strike force is already at sea.
But this time, America is ready.
When a brilliant young codebreaker at Station HYPO picks up a chilling pattern in Japan's radio silence, his discovery reaches the Oval Office. President Roosevelt, haunted by a lifetime of political instinct, makes a fateful decision: fortify Hawaii, alert the Pacific Fleet, and prepare to intercept the most devastating surprise attack in history before it begins.
As Admiral Yamamoto's six carriers steam toward Pearl Harbor, a secret American buildup transforms Oahu into a fortress. Battleship Row bristles with upgraded anti-aircraft guns. P-40 fighters crowd the airfields. The carrier USS Ranger races from Norfolk. And in the basement of the 14th Naval District, Ensign Michael Mikey Voss and Commander Joseph Rochefort work around the clock, piecing together fragments of Japan's plan from the static of intercepted transmissions.
From the bridge of the flagship Akagi to the Map Room of the White House, from Corregidor's humid bunkers to the wind-swept decks of American destroyers, A Date with Infamy reimagines the opening days of World War II through the eyes of the commanders, codebreakers, and ordinary sailors who shaped history's most consequential hours.
What if America saw the punch coming?
A Date with Infamy is Book 1 of The American War, a meticulously researched alternate history series. Perfect for fans of Jeff Shaara, Newt Gingrich & William R. Forstchen, and Harry Turtledove.
