Nigel Hamilton has written a masterpiece chronicling the first year of US involvement in World War II, from events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, as well as US aid to Great Britain and FDR's relationship with Winston Churchill.

I learned so much from reading this book. Mr. Hamilton has written this account from diary entries of those involved, as well as letters and documents. I will definitely read the next installment in the trilogy. Anyone, a student of history or not, will find this book fascinating, if WWII is of interest to you.
