Pearl Harbor 75 Years Later

This two-hour special looks back at Dec. 7, 1941 - the date that has indeed lived in infamy, as President Franklin Roosevelt promised - when imperial Japan attacked the U.S. naval forces in Hawaii, ushering America into World War II. The attack killed more than 2,400 people, wounded 1,000 and damaged or destroyed nearly 20 American ships and over 300 airplanes.

Produced both for the education of troops and to inform the public, these films promoted justification for the World War II battles in the Pacific and served to strengthen the resolve of soldiers and citizens. Sixteen features provide a concise overview, including graphic combat footage.
