Description
Against the backdrop of Depression-era America and rising tensions in the Pacific, nineteen-year-old Tommy Biggs joins the U.S. Navy in search of a future beyond rural Florida. As he trains for a life at sea, Secretary of State Cordell Hull struggles to navigate a perilous diplomatic crisis while Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto prepares Japan for a bold and dangerous gamble. Moving between the lives of ordinary sailors and the leaders shaping world events, this richly detailed novel brings the days before Pearl Harbor—and the attack that changed history—into vivid, human focus. It is a gripping exploration of duty, ambition, sacrifice, and the forces that can awaken a nation.
