Winner of the Gold Medal for History from the Military Writer's Society of America and a Finalist for US History from the National Indie Excellence Award, Pearl Harbor's Final Warning presents new information about the message that arrived too late to warn of a pending attack

On 7 December 1941, Washington sent a message to its Pacific outposts about a potential Japanese attack. All but Pearl Harbor received it in time to prepare. New information from the archive of George Street, District manager of RCA-Honolulu, exposes the fatal flaws that resulted in the surprise attack. Operational snafus, collusion, and spying weave a web of misdirection that entangles George Street and his children in one of history's biggest mistakes. Pearl Harbor's Final Warning amends the historical record by presenting unpublished material, including the original copy of Mrshall's coded message.
