From the Library JournalHitler and his general staff were convinced that if the Allies on the Continent were struck a shattering blow, their unity would collapse.

"At long last, the familiar and overused photographs of the "Day of Infamy" can be retired. The 430 prints in this new and welcome collection were gathered from various Japanese and U.S. sources, and most have never been seen by the general public.

Amelia Earhart inspired many to reach for the skies. Her indefatigable spirit was, and still is, an inspiration to millions.
