Join us as author Dale Jenkins draws on now-declassified original documents as he examines the defining events of WWII and how it could have ended very differently. Combining perspectives from both military and civilian leaders, Diplomats & Admirals uncovers new insights into the Pacific naval battles that shaped the world–and the men behind them.
Former Secretary of the Navy and NMHS Overseer, Hon. John F. Lehman praised the book, saying:
Dale Jenkin’s fascinating and highly readable book focused on the months before and after Pearl Harbor offers startling new facts regarding what happened in key, early battles, including the Pearl Harbor attack, the aborted relief of Wake Island and the opening moves of the Battle of Midway. Based on new research and previously overlooked documents, it provides valuable insight.
