December 1941: 31 Days That Changed America and Saved the World - Hardcover

"This book sounds fascinating to me. I am big history buff and I certainly will pick this one up."--Dennis Miller"Offers a rare opportunity to relive that incredible month in a time-travel sort of way, rather than read about it in the hindsight of history. It is a time capsule of the period, and is so compelling it is a hard book to set aside."--Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star"A timely piece of history."--Washingtonian  "Enthralling account of the early weeks of World War II on the home front."--Fred Barnes, Weekly Standard"Craig Shirley's December 1941 is flat-out terrific - intelligent, hugely descriptive, extensively researched...and passionate in a way so few histories allow themselves to be anymore."--Steve Donoghue, Open Letters Monthly"I love historical non-fiction. I read it everywhere, in bathroom, wherever I am. But typically it's written from sort of a distant  perspective. You went through newspapers and magazines, and all the accounts of time. It gives an immediacy that I think it's difficult to find in these types of things."--Jon Stewart, The Daily Show"I'm confident it'll be a bestseller."--Don Imus"It is terrific . . . tremendous report on that decisive month which changed America and the world."--Newt Gingrich   "Worth buying. . . really, really cool."--MSNBC "Excellent book!"--Jon Meacham, former editor of Newsweek and a Pulitzer Prize winning bestselling author "Terrific piece of work!"--Andrea  Mitchell, MSNBC "Masterful new book . . . Shirley not only transports us back to that tumultuous time, but reminds this generation that denial about an enemy's intentions can have grave consequences."--Cal Thomas, syndicated columnist "Fascinating book."--FOXNews "Folks, if you want a good read this Christmas season check it out."--Steve Doocy, FOXNews "Successful attempt to capture the sights and sounds of that long-ago era . . . in impressive detail . . . tells us about the attitudes, cultural mores and prejudices of an America on the eve of entry into the second great war."--Human Events "Shirley's day-by-day account manages to shed new light on a critical period in our history."--Military.com "Fascinating way to experience the look and the feel, the reactions and the emotion, the strategy, and the painful surprises of those 31 days."--National Review "Powerful, thickly researched new book."--Reason.com "The book also reveals . . . blockbuster historical moment[s]. Shirley. . . takes a new tack in his book about Pearl Harbor. Instead of just writing how it all went down, his book attempts to give readers a feel for how the country felt 70 years ago. He accomplishes that by providing anecdotal information from nearly 2,000 newspapers and magazines."--US News & World Report "Craig Shirley, known for creating a you-are-there atmosphere in his earlier books about Ronald Reagan's 1976 and 1980 presidential campaigns, has done it again. This account shows us what is possible when the nation is aroused."--Washington Times
