{"product_id":"9780312054540","title":"Visions of Infamy: The Untold Story of How Journalist Hector C. Bywater Devised the Plans That Led to Pearl Harbor","description":" Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto smashed the American fleet at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, yet the man who first conceived of the Pacific war — Japans surprise attack, the seizure of the Philippines \u0026amp; Guam, \u0026amp; the American island-hopping campaign — was a British naval correspondent, Hector C. Bywater. He wrote a series of brilliant books \u0026amp; articles in the 1920s \u0026amp; 1930s that prophetically outlined naval strategies that would read like a blueprint for the Pacific Theater during World War II. Bywaters ideas created an uproar \u0026amp; then were quickly forgotten. But Yamamoto adopted Bywaters ideas as his own. Photos.
