Synopsis

INFAMY is the startling account of one of the greatest cover-ups in American history. Shortly after the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor - the 'Day of Infamy' - a hastily convened investigative committee blamed the two commanders of Hawaii's military installations, Admiral Kimmel and General Short, for the unpreparedness that had virtually sacrificed the US Pacific fleet. But this verdict was challenged both inside and outside the American services; these able officers seemed to have become the scapegoats for the real culprits. The author explores many unanswered questions including: why were America's supreme commanders so lackadaisical about relaying vital information to their subordinates?
