This class will explore the failures and the experiences of those who lived through the attack, as well as its immediate consequences.
On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, leading to the destruction of American ships and aircraft and the loss of over 2,000 lives. The U.S. was caught unprepared due to flawed decision-making, cultural stereotypes, and misjudgments. This class will explore these failures and the experiences of those who lived through the attack, as well as its immediate consequences. In our final session, we will compare the arrogance that led to Pearl Harbor with that of Americans in the summer of 2001, highlighting unsettling similarities between the disasters of December 7 and September 11.
