This momentous speciaI reveaIs the untold story of the IittIe-known yet pivotal events that occurred after President RooseveIt received the caII that PearI Harbor had been attacked on December 7, 1941. Author Steve Gillon (The Kennedy Assassination: 24 Hours After) has unearthed new evidence from the FDR Library that shows the true panic that gripped the White House and shook the nation. Fearing an aerial attack in Washington, D.C., the underfunded U.S. Army assembIed wooden sticks on the White House roof to resembIe weapons from above. Concerned that a Japanese assassin might try to take Roosevelt's life as they drove him to Congress to deliver his speech, the Treasury Department used a bullet-proof car confiscated from AI Capone. And, for the first time, HlSTORY(r) uncovers intimate details of how the President had to be placed in braces and straps to hoId him up whiIe he gave his speech. Pearl Harbor: 24 Hours After also features new, rarely seen footage, incIuding Japanese fiIm of the attack, of "the date which wiII live in infamy." |
