 This set includes both books in Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen’s explosive Pacific War Series. In Pearl Harbor, the beginning of the Pacific War Series, Gingrich and Forstchen consider alternatives that could have changed the course of WWII, exploring how history might have been changed if Admiral Yamamoto had directly led the attack on Pearl Harbor, instead of remaining in Japan. The authors' research shines in accurate accounts of diplomatic maneuvering as well as the nuts-and-bolts of military action, beginning with the Japanese invasion of China. The sequel, Days of Infamy, is a historical adventure that takes place minutes after the close of Pearl Harbor. In this alternative history novel, the notorious gambler Yamamoto is pitted against the equally legendary American admiral Bill Halsey in a battle of wits, nerve, and skill.
