Abstract
In this meticulously researched volume amateur historian William Bartsch explores the events leading up to and the actual destruction of the United States’ Far East Air Force in the Philippine Islands on December 8, 1941. Bartsch pulls together an impressive array of American and Japanese primary and secondary sources to argue that the Japanese success in destroying the American air forces in the Philippines in a single day was a greater strategic disaster than the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
