Old stuff, repackaged. Nothing new in the show. It doesn't cover the beginning. The beginning starts in 1903. Read the book "Imperial Cruise" by James Bradley. Research War Plan Orange. Any talk about the "attack" without covering "why" the attack was planned is going to leave you empty. We were empire building and needed to ensure that our two biggest competetors were out of the picture. Japan provided an easy way to accomplish that.

Yeah, dive bomber graphics and Arizona explosion CGI are cool, but don't go into the reasons. The reasons for the attack take more time than the History Channel has. It would take a year of Sundays to go into just the League Of Nations' mandates...

I have read most information on the attack on Pearl Harbor, including the conspiracy theories. This will revive them all. OK by me.

I've seen this advertised on the History and H2 and the AHC channels ... and was looking forward to watching it ... December 4th at 2000 (8 pm for the Guard and reserves... )
Thanks for the reminder...

... "This year marks the 75th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The truth behind Pearl Harbor is explored through new revelations from previously undisclosed documents that expose the appalling intelligence and military blunders that allowed the early warning signs of the Japanese attack to be missed. The documentary uncovers a cover-up that concealed a shocking catalogue of errors, and possibly made scapegoats of high ranking military officers, as well as their family’s ongoing quest to clear their name...."...
