Pearl Harbor – Leadership and Communication

War between Japan and the United States had been a possibility that each nation had been aware of, and planned for, since the 1920s. Over the next decades, Japan expanded into China and spent considerable effort trying to secure enough independent resources to attain victory. This program will cover the Japanese and American political and command structure in the days leading up to the Pearl Harbor Attack. We will look specifically at the role communication played in the success and failure of the missions. Join us as we remember this date that will “live in infamy”.
