U.S. General Warns: China Prepping for 'Pearl Harbor-Style' Surprise Attack? A top U.S. military general has issued a stark warning: China may be preparing for a surprise military strike reminiscent of Pearl Harbor. In this video, we break down the general's briefing, the context of China's military expansion, and historical parallels that have defense experts raising alarms.

On December 8, 1941, as the Japanese were bombing Pearl Harbor, they were simultaneously attacking other Allied positions around Asia.  One of the biggest attacks was on Manila and the Philippines and the Filipino and American forces on the island of Luzon. Filipino and American forces ended up surrendering, which began one of the most brutal and horrifying episodes of the entire war.  Learn more about the Bataan Death March and how and why it happened on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

As promised, this week Seth and Jon Parshall take a dive into the world of WWII archival footage from the US National Archives. The team focuses their attention on a few reels of footage from the early part of the Pacific War, namely, captured Japanese footage from Hong Kong, and the Pearl Harbor attack. The guys go through the shots step by step and Jon pours his knowledge of Kido Butai into the talk while interpreting some of the most famous shots taken by Japanese photographers during the attack. The guys go through the Japanese aerial footage frame by frame and pick out the exact moments of torpedo strikes on battleship row--really getting into the weeds. Following that, Sthe guys take a look at the infamous footage of USS Arizona (BB-39) exploding, again, going frame by frame to examine her utter destruction. Finally, Seth takes the wheel and takes you guys through some grainy, but arguably the most historic archival reel of the entire attack-pinpointing scenes showing the destruction of USS Shaw, USS Nevada's sortie out of the harbor, Nevada firing her AAA batteries at Japanese aircraft and an almost step by step set of shots showing USS California's sinking. For reference, the reels we discuss are: 242-299r2, 242mid290, 428npc21950, and 428npc1730  This is the first of many attempts at something new, so bear with us as we navigate a new format. We will be doing this sort of thing every few weeks in addition to our normal programming.   #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary #usa #franklin #okinawa #yamato #kamikaze #Q&A #questions #questionsandanswers #history #jaws #atomicbomb #nuclear #nationalarchives #nara

Just hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Japan invaded the Philippines. In the midst of the death and destruction, tens of thousands of American and Filipino soldiers were forced to march on what became known as the Bataan Death March. Why does God allow such horrors? Satisfactory answers don't come easy. Join John Bradshaw on location in the Philippines for “The March of Death.”

In 1944, the USS Intrepid embarked on its first combat voyage. The mission was abruptly jeopardized when a Japanese torpedo plane struck the vessel, jamming its rudder at a precarious 45-degree angle. Forced to sail in circles amidst treacherous waters, the crew faced an uncertain future.Despite the daunting circumstances, the ship's Captain initially managed to steer the Intrepid using its engines, but the perilous seas soon overwhelmed his efforts. The crew's perseverance was put to the ultimate test until an inventive crewman devised a makeshift solution-a 3000-square foot sail rigged on the forecastle. Against all odds, this ingenious sail provided the means to steer the ship safely back to Pearl Harbor.This book is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the USS Intrepid's crew, detailing their remarkable struggle for survival with grit and determination. The story is an inspiring account of how teamwork and innovation can triumph even in the direst situations."I am deeply honored to bring the extraordinary story of the USS Intrepid to life in THE SAILING OF THE INTREPID," said author Montel Williams. "This book is a tribute to the incredible bravery and ingenuity of the Intrepid's crew, who refused to surrender in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Their story is one of true heroism and resilience, and I am thrilled to collaborate with David Fisher to share this inspiring narrative with the world. I hope readers will find as much inspiration in their story as I have."The Intrepid Museum is a world-renowned air and space museum founded in 1982 with the acquisition of the storied WWII aircraft carrier. The Intrepid is a National Historic Landmark and the centerpiece of the Museum's collection on the Hudson River in New York City, which welcomes more than a million visitors annually."Today the Intrepid is a great air and sea museum, a living tribute to the men and women who fought for our country," said Kenneth Fisher, co-chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. "This book tells the incredible story of a few days in February 1944 when the crew of the battle-crippled aircraft carrier devised an incredible, ingenious solution that saved their ship."The Intrepid is a household name, the museum an icon, but so many don't know its story This story is perfectly timed for Fleet Week and Memorial Day - though it's also a timeless story of American heroism, ingenuity, and survival against insurmountable odds Montel is the one to tell it: he served as a naval officer for two decades and has remained active in various military causesMontel was the first Black Marine to attend the Naval Academy Prep School and graduate from the United States Naval Academy and while serving, he earned numerous commendations. The Sailing of the Intrepid is a unique page-turning narrative with new maps, diagrams, and fascinating insights into the Intrepid's history and its importance today. In an interview, Montel could share the timeline of events of the attack on the Intrepid in 1944 and the ingenious solution of the crew.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

The legendary comedic duo Fibber McGee & Molly with “I Can Get It For You Wholesale.” This show was broadcast on December 9, 1941, two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This show includes news updates on World War II.

Japón durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945) jugó un papel central en el teatro de guerra del Pacífico. En 1937, antes del conflicto global, Japón ya había iniciado una invasión de China, lo que marcó el inicio de su expansión imperialista en Asia. Japón se alió con las potencias del Eje (Alemania e Italia) y, en 1941, lanzó el ataque sorpresa a Pearl Harbor, llevando a Estados Unidos a la guerra. A lo largo de la guerra, Japón conquistó vastas áreas en Asia y el Pacífico, incluyendo partes de China, Corea, Filipinas, y muchas islas del Pacífico. Sin embargo, tras la Batalla de Midway en 1942, Japón comenzó a perder terreno frente a las fuerzas aliadas, lideradas por Estados Unidos. En 1945, después de una serie de derrotas y el bombardeo de Hiroshima y Nagasaki con armas nucleares por parte de Estados Unidos, Japón se rindió el 15 de agosto de 1945, poniendo fin a la guerra en el Pacífico y a su ambición expansionista. La rendición fue formalizada el 2 de septiembre de 1945, lo que marcó el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el comienzo de la ocupación estadounidense en Japón, que transformaría el país en los años posteriores.

durée : 01:03:01 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda, Mathias Le Gargasson, Antoine Dhulster - En décembre 1941, les États-Unis abandonnent leur neutralité après l'attaque de Pearl Harbor par le Japon. Cet épisode de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale est raconté par l'historien André Kaspi, spécialiste des États-Unis, dans la série consacrée au conflit, diffusée en 1983 sur France Culture. - réalisation : Massimo Bellini, Vincent Abouchar - invités : André Kaspi Historien, spécialiste des Etats-Unis

Seconda Guerra Mondiale: cronologia degli eventi, protagonisti e approfondimento su cause e conseguenze del conflitto iniziato nel 1939 e concluso nel 1945.

L'attacco giapponese a Pearl Harbor colpì la flotta USA il 7 dicembre 1941, causando gravi perdite e portando gli Stati Uniti nella Seconda guerra mondiale.

El Blitz, nombre con el que se conoce al bombardeo nazi contra ciudades británicas, fue igualado y ampliamente superado por la campaña de bombardeos estratégicos de los aliados, que tuvo como objetivo los centros urbanos alemanes. Las tácticas de ambos bandos evolucionaron tanto en el ataque como en la defensa: el bombardero se volvió más efectivo gracias a las mejoras en los emplazamientos de las bombas, la navegación y la defensa a bordo contra los cazas, y los bombarderos pesados posteriores contaron con torretas giratorias. Por otro lado, la defensa contra el bombardero se hizo más sofisticada y eficaz debido al desarrollo del radar, pero también a los cambios en las tácticas de combate aéreo de los cazas y a las mejoras en la defensa civil. En diciembre de 1941, el tristemente célebre ataque de Pearl Harbor llevó a EE UU a la guerra.

Hebreos 11: 13Después del ataque a Pearl Harbor, el comandante Joseph Rochefort logró descifrar los códigos de comunicación de los japoneses y predijo que los japoneses atacarían Midway el 3 de junio de 1942, y así sucedió. Gracias esto, Estados Unidos le propinó a la armada japonesa su primera derrota en 350 años. Japón perdió cuatro navíos, un crucero, 2,500 hombres, 322 aviones y sus mejores pilotos. Esta devastadora derrota hizo que más adelante Japón perdiera la guerra.Resulta curioso que Rochefort nunca recibiera el reconocimiento adecuado por sus servicios. Algunos agentes de inteligencia de Washington falsificaron informes y se atribuyeron el mérito, a pesar de que habían predicho el ataque para el 10 de junio. Rochefort nunca obtuvo el reconocimiento que merecía. De hecho, lo retiraron del servicio de inteligencia y lo destinaron a un dique flotante en San Francisco, donde falleció en 1976.¿Cómo te sientes cuando los demás no te dan el reconocimiento debido? Si eres como yo, tal vez necesites aprender del comandante Rochefort. En el libro Deceit at Pearl Harbor, Ken Landis, Rex Gunn y Robert Andrade mencionan una nota que Rochefort dejó en su escritorio: «Podemos lograr cualquier cosa, siempre y cuando nadie se preocupe por recibir el crédito». Los autores añaden: «Esa fue la actitud que hizo que se ganara la batalla de Midway».No siempre nos reconocen de inmediato cuando hacemos algo digno de elogio. Cuando Mardoqueo descubrió la conspiración de Bigtán y Teres contra el rey (ver Ester 2: 19-23), no fue recompensado de inmediato. Mucho después, por una de esas «coincidencias» que suceden en la vida de los hijos de Dios, el rey descubrió sus acciones y lo recompensó en grande (ver Ester 6: 1-14).¿Pero y si nadie nota mis logros nunca? En 1985 Joe Rochefort fue galardonado póstumamente con la Medalla del Servicio Distinguido de la Marina, en 1986 recibió la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad y en el año 2000 entró al salón de la fama de la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional. En realidad, los hijos de Dios nunca pasan desapercibidos. Incluso si en esta vida no recibes los honores debidos, Dios te tiene reservado el máximo galardón: la vida eterna. Espera con paciencia. Tus acciones no pasan desapercibidas ante los ojos de Dios. 

Melvin Hurwirz was 16 years old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Within just a few years, all four boys in his family were at war, each in a different branch of the service. After enlisting in the U.S. Army Air Corps, Hurwitz was assigned as a gunner and as a radio man for a B-17 bomber crew after an aptitude test showed his proficiency at Morse Code. His crew then had a bit of an adventure flying the bomber over to Great Britain. It was Spring 1945 by the time he saw his first bombing mission.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Hurwitz explains why he chose the Army Air Corps, what he was thinking as he went up on that first mission, and the amount of enemy resistance he faced in those final weeks of the war.Hurwitz also details his four bombing missions, particularly two aimed at German personnel still in France and how his was among the first planes ever to drop napalm in Europe. Hurwitz also tells us about bringing desperately-needed humanitarian aid to Belgium and the Netherlands at the end of the war and bringing French POW's back from Germany.

El episodio comienza con el ascenso del Imperio de Japón en el escenario internacional. En 1931, las estructuras políticas que permitieron a los militares operar fuera del control del gobierno civil resultaron en la invasión de Manchuria. Surge una nueva visión del destino divino del Japón bajo el Emperador. La ideología política crece para apoyar la expansión japonesa. En 1937 se produce la invasión a gran escala de China. El episodio concluye con el ataque sorpresa a Pearl Harbor en diciembre de 1941.

If Hawai'i is on your bucket list, you need to listen to this episode with Hawaii travel expert Marcie Cheung. Marcie is a family travel blogger and mom of two who's been to Hawaii more than 40 times, staying everywhere from luxury resorts to budget-friendly condos. She helps parents plan unforgettable Hawaii vacations with kids by sharing expert tips, honest reviews, and stress-free itineraries. You can learn more on her website hawaiitravelwithkids.com or follow Marcie on Facebook and Instagram. You can also listen to her podcast, Hawaii Travel Made Easy. Episode Highlights: The most popular tourist islands are: Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Hawaii (The Big Island) Oahu is best if you can only visit one island and are looking for a mix of experiences and attractions from Pearl Harbor to the Dole Plantation and also city life, nightlife and beaches on the North Shore or Waikiki Maui is also popular for luxury resorts, a quieter vacation, the famous Road to Hana, and also great restaurants and activities Kauai is even more laid back The Big Island is good for those that are looking to be adventurous and take road trips, plus this is where you will find Volcanoes National Park A first time visitor coming from the U.S. should look at least one week and spend it on Oahu because it has such a range of experiences. If you have two weeks, then you can island hop from Oahu to Maui or Kauai. Be active on Oahu and then relax on Maui or Kauai. Keep in mind that when you island hop you still need to fly and deal with all of the airport security, rental car lines, etc. that eats up a lot of a day in travel. The Big Island is really large and you need at least five to seven days. It takes several hours to drive from the beach area to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Expect to spend about $12,000 or more for a family vacation to Hawaii. Airfare from the West Coast is about $500 and closer to $900 from the East Coast. You can use a Southwest Companion Pass or Alaska Companion Pass if you have them. Accommodations keep getting more and more expensive. Midrange hotels are $350-500 and luxury resorts can easily go over $1000 per night. You need to beware about vacation rentals because they are being closely regulated in Honolulu and often they will be cancelled last minute as there are a lot of illegal vacation rentals. If you go with a vacation rental, go with something reputable. Food is also expensive because so much needs to be shipped in on the islands. Plan on spending about $100 a day on food if you are able to mix up going to restaurants and buying groceries or eating at food trucks. Rental car prices are high and you need a rental car for at least a few days on each island. Keep in mind that hotel parking can be $40-60 per night. Activities are also quite pricey, at $300-500 per person. Luaus are at least $200-350 per person. Narrow down your wish list to 2-3 activities and have beach or pool days or exploring on your own for the rest of the time. Minimum stays during winter break can be 7-14 days and this is the most expensive time to visit. When planning road trips or hikes, be sure to map them out to see how far they are and how long it will take to get there. Don't overpack your itinerary.

In this episode of Echoes of the Past, we explore the United States between September 1939 and December 1941 — the tense years leading up to Pearl Harbor. While Americans focused on recovering from the Great Depression, debates raged between isolationists and interventionists over whether to enter the growing global conflict. We examine the nation's cultural mood, shifting political landscape, and evolving foreign relationships with Britain, the Soviet Union, Germany, and Japan. As economic pressures mounted and global tensions rose, the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor brought a reluctant but determined America into World War II.Visit me at https://www.stephenjbedard.com/secondworldwarSupport me at http://www.patreon.com/hopesreason

fWotD Episode 2923: William D. Leahy Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 6 May 2025, is William D. Leahy.William Daniel Leahy (; 6 May 1875 – 20 July 1959) was an American naval officer. The most senior United States military officer on active duty during World War II, he held several titles and exercised considerable influence over foreign and military policy. As a fleet admiral, he was the first flag officer ever to hold a five-star rank in the U. S. Armed Forces.An 1897 graduate of Annapolis, Leahy saw active service in the Spanish–American War, the Philippine Insurrection, the Boxer Rebellion in China, the Banana Wars in Central America, and World War I. He was the first member of his cadet class to reach flag rank, as the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance from 1927 to 1931. He subsequently served as Chief of the Bureau of Navigation from 1933 to 1936, and commanded the Battle Fleet from 1936 to 1937. As Chief of Naval Operations from 1937 to 1939, he was the senior officer in the United States Navy, overseeing the expansion of the fleet and preparations for war.After retiring from the Navy, Leahy was appointed the governor of Puerto Rico in 1939 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In his most controversial role, he served as the Ambassador to France from 1940 to 1942. American policy was aimed at keeping the government of Vichy France free of German control, but Leahy had limited success. He came to believe that the United States should back Free France instead of Vichy France, and asked to be recalled after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States into the war. Leahy was subsequently recalled to active duty as the Chief of Staff to the President in 1942 and served in that position for the rest of the Second World War. As the de facto first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he oversaw all of the American armed forces and was a major decision-maker during the war. He also presided over the American delegation to the Combined Chiefs of Staff. In December 1944, Leahy was promoted to five-star rank of fleet admiral.In the aftermath of World War II, Leahy served Roosevelt's successor Harry S. Truman, helping shape postwar foreign policy until he retired in 1949. Although he did not oppose the use of the nuclear weapons during the war, in the post-war period he rejected war plans that placed too much emphasis on the first use of nuclear weapons.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Tuesday, 6 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see William D.

Episode: 1364 Our radar warning of the Pearl Harbor attack.  Today, devastation follows when we don't trust a new technology.

Today, Darrell Castle talks about remembering two anniversaries that are very significant in the history of the United States and the entire world. He shares how he believes they affect us today many years past those anniversaries, some of which he has personally experienced. Transcription / Notes: ANNIVERSARIES TO REMEMBER Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 2nd day of May in the year of our Lord 2025. I pause today to remember some anniversaries that are very significant in the history of the United States of America and of the entire world for that matter. In addition, I will endeavor to talk about the world as it appears to me today many years past those anniversaries some of which I have personally experienced. Next week the 8th of May is the 80th anniversary of the German surrender in WWll. I talk of that surrender today because it will happen before my next Castle Report. In Russia they remember what is called Victory in Europe Day on May 9th instead of the 8th. Russia usually has a military parade before the Kremlin in Moscow to memorialize the Great Patriotic War as they call it. However, they don't memorialize what happened for 40 years after the war. The Stalinist show trials and millions of dead are nothing to celebrate I guess. From my American viewpoint I talk about the anniversary to honor those who served and especially those who died. This year, 11 world leaders have announced that they will attend the celebrations in Moscow including the Chinese Premier Xi but I haven't heard of any Americans in attendance. If I were president I would be there or at least send a high-ranking representative. When General Eisenhower visited the airborne divisions on the night they were to jump into occupied France for the D-Day Invasion he said we may never see their like again and at this point I will say that he was right, at least I don't see their like right now. Long before D-Day the Americans had some catching up to do because Germany had been fighting in Europe for two years and only Britain held them at bay across the Channel for two years alone. I risk being overly dramatic about the war against Germany but on the other hand, that would be very difficult to do since the courage and sacrifice of the men who fought the war is hard to exaggerate. For example, right after Pearl Harbor the 8th Air Force was formed and assigned to defeat the Luftwaffe which at that time was the best AirForce in the world and believed to be unstoppable. The 8th had 8 pilots and no airplanes at the time. Three years later by the D-Day landings the Luftwaffe had been driven from the sky, their experienced pilots were dead, and their country's infrastructure was a pile of rubble. That happened because 55,000 young men gave their lives in the skies over Germany and France. A B-17 crew of 10 men had to complete 25 missions to get a break at home for a while. The average life expectancy was 15 missions and the chances of surviving 25 missions was 1 in 4. That improved when the P-51 Mustang fighter was available later because it had the range to escort the bombers all the way to Berlin and back. The Germans were fine warriors, dedicated men who fought hard for their country but on May 8th, 1945, they reached a state of unconditional surrender. Hitler was dead, apparently, and the head of state was Grand Admiral Carl Doenitz who had commanded the U-Boat campaign and later the German Navy. Doenitz sent General Afred Jodl to sign the German surrender and Jodl tried to time it so as many German soldiers as possible could make their way West and surrender to the Americans. Eisenhower told him that if he did not surrender immediately he would close the West to Germans and they would be left to the tender mercies of General Zhukov and the Red Army. No German wanted to be at the mercy of the Russians because of the merciless way they had conducted warfare inside Russia.

In this episode #59, What really happened when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor? Why did Hitler launch Operation Typhoon toward Moscow ? Why was Mussolini fighting in Libya? In this episode, we uncover gripping stories from World War II: war dogs on the front lines, brave Indian soldiers in distant lands, and forgotten operations that shaped history.

Chuck gets the real story behind one of the wildest chapters in Australian history, the 1942 bombing of Darwin, where more bombs were dropped than on Pearl Harbor, and the government kept it all under wraps. Mark Monaghan spills some jaw-dropping details: how the Tiwi Islanders warned of the attacks before radar even existed, how Australia's first POW was captured, and why this moment mattered way more than people realize. But the past isn't the only focus, we jump into the present too, talking critical minerals, energy, and why Darwin's becoming a serious player in global strategy. From military moves to mining ops, this one connects the dots between history and the high-stakes future of the Northern Territory.Digital Wildcatters brings the energy community together through events, cutting-edge content, and powerful tools.

The United States was brought into WW2 with the Japanese surprise attack at Pearl Harbor on Dec 7 1941. The U.S. was shook, fear of an invasion of the west coast was at an all time high with nothing standing between us and Japan. The moral of the nation wasn't good and in the weeks after Pearl Harbor more Japanese victories did nothing to reassure the country we could win this war. The U.S. needed a win, it needed to be something bold and unexpected. Something to break the aura of the invulnerability of Japanese held about their home islands. FDR wanted bombs on Tokyo and it fell to Jimmy Doolittle to make it happen. Now if you're gonna plan and execute a top secret raid on Japan's capital where success relies on doing things never before done, Jimmy's your guy. Doolittle Raid aside James Doolittle was one of the most famous aviators in American History, a doctorate in Aviation Engineering from M.I.T., the first of it's kind lends credit to his understanding off all thing aircraft. What Jimmy and his boys were able to do helped show the United States they were still in the fight and showed Japan they weren't safe at home. Find out how they pulled it off here. Support the show

Frédéric Taddeï se penche sur la question de savoir si l'Allemagne nazie et le Japon avaient réellement une chance de l'emporter dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale.L'Allemagne nazie, malgré sa puissance militaire initiale, n'avait en réalité aucune chance de gagner face à la coalition de l'URSS, des États-Unis et de la Grande-Bretagne. Comme le souligne l'historien britannique John Ellis, l'Allemagne souffrait de sérieuses faiblesses en termes d'industrie, de matières premières et de démographie, qui rendaient sa victoire quasi impossible.L'invité explique ensuite que le Japon, de son côté, aurait pu avoir une chance de s'en sortir s'il avait su se montrer plus raisonnable dans ses conquêtes. Mais son expansion incontrôlée a fini par lui poser de graves problèmes logistiques, minant ainsi ses chances de l'emporter. L'échec de l'attaque de Pearl Harbor, loin d'être une grande victoire japonaise, en est d'ailleurs la parfaite illustration.

1942. War rages in Europe. Pearl Harbor still smolders. And alcoholic private eye Nicholas Bishop wakes up on a hotel room floor with two slugs missing from his .38 revolver. The cops think he's murdered lounge singer Pearl DuGaye, mobsters think he saw something he shouldn't have, and Bishop remembers nothing… Together with his indomitable assistant Gia Alessi, who he may or may not have fired, a WWI vet who often flashes back to 1918, and a one-eyed female dog named Jake, Bishop tries to piece together the events that took place during his disastrous five-day bender. Along the way, he stumbles across a dirty politician, a socialite and her unfaithful husband, and a cabal of American Nazis who are undoubtedly up to no good. Written in the spirit of classic noir, Eoannou adds his own unique voice and flair to the genre in this, the first action-packed outing of the Nicholas Bishop Mysteries…Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

In this episode, I spoke with author David F. Winkler regarding his book "The Mighty A: The Mighty A: The Short, Heroic Life of the USS Atlanta (CL-51): America's First Warship Commissioned After Pearl Harbor". Prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy's leadership discovered that the surface fleet was highly vulnerable to air attack, thanks to the introduction of drone aircraft that could simulate attacks on its warships. The Navy's gunners simply did not have the coordinated firepower to knock them down. Recognition of this vulnerability resulted in a new class of warship led by USS Atlanta.

In this episode Bay Area filmmaker Claudia Katayanagi goes into great detail about the myriad little-known incarceration camps that the federal government created to keep Japanese American "troublemakers" away from those confined in the larger and better known incarceration camps following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, HI. Her first two documentaries--"A Bitter Legacy" and "Community in Crisis" offer a fresh retelling of the courageous efforts of the Japanese Americans to endure terrible injustices and hardships, while fighting back against the forces of anti-Japanese racism. Today, many Japanese Americans are pushing back against the unjust deportation and incarceration policies of the Trump administration aimed at brown-skinned people.

And you can also learn about her third film "Exiled" by visiting https://www.gofundme.com/f/doj-film-fund-raiser  

The resurrection of Jesus Christ represents a pivotal moment that transformed both history and our personal relationship with God. When Jesus calls us by name, our sorrows are silenced, our standing secure, and our stories forever shaped by His triumph over the grave.• Some days change the world – Gutenberg's printing press (1440), American Independence (1776), Pearl Harbor (1941), 9/11 (2001)• Other days change our personal world – weddings, births, hard news• Mary Magdalene stood between two world-changing days – Jesus' crucifixion and His unexpected resurrection• The resurrection silences our sorrow – when Jesus simply spoke Mary's name, her weeping turned to joy• Our sorrows have an expiration date because of the resurrection (Revelation 21:4)• The resurrection secures our standing – Jesus now calls disciples "brothers" and speaks of "my Father and your Father"• In John's Gospel, Jesus mentions "Father" 120 times, but only after resurrection does He say "your Father"• The resurrection shapes our story – Mary's testimony became simply "I have seen the Lord"• All believers share this core testimony regardless of how they came to faith• We are resurrection people not just on Easter but every dayIf you don't yet have this story as your own, today can be the day the resurrection changes everything for you. Come talk to a pastor about how you can know Jesus personally.

Raphael acted in his first Broadway play at the young age of sixteen, opposite Faye Dunaway and has since been in five total, including the revival of Ah, Wilderness opposite Jason Robards, and Coleen Dewhurst. At 18, just days after graduating high school, he flew to Chicago to co-star in Risky Business with Tom Cruise. He has gone on to appear in dozens of films, including Independence Day, Message in a Bottle, Vision Quest, Pearl Harbor and The Exorcist Believer. In the coming months, he will be seen in Friendship with Paul Rudd, and The History of Sound with Paul Mezcal.  His resume includes more than 100 guest appearances and series regular roles on network television shows, among them Dr. Hopper and Jiminy Cricket on Once Upon a Time, David Molk on Murder in the First, and The Guardian with Simon Baker and Dabney Coleman.

Douglas P. Horne joins us to discuss his 2 volume book. Deception, Intrigue, and the Road to War (Vol. 1 of 2)Did President Franklin D. Roosevelt have foreknowledge of the attack---and did he (and his senior military leadership) then withhold that knowledge from his overseas commanders in Hawaii?Douglas P. Horne, a 1974 Cum Laude graduate of The Ohio State University who majored in history, and author of the five-volume work "Inside the Assassination Records Review Board" (about the U.S. Government's medical cover-up of the JFK assassination), has put his 40 years of combined military-and-civilian service to the Federal Government to good use in studying the 1945-46 Congressional Investigation into the Pearl Harbor attack; a little-known 1946 U.S. Government report containing key evidence about the attack; and the most recent Revisionist works about Pearl Harbor, to produce a grand "new synthesis" which answers the persistent question: "Did FDR know about the Pearl Harbor attack before it took place?" A former U.S. Naval Officer who spent 14 years working in four different Navy jobs at Pearl Harbor, and a Japanophile who has always been fascinated by the Imperial Japanese Navy, Horne has applied his own Navy job experience, and his understanding of how the government operates, to a plethora of data about the Pearl Harbor attack, to produce a work of high tension and drama that attempts to deal honestly with the most significant foreign policy event in America's 20th century history. Mr Horne is the man to thank for obtaining the documents exposing Operation NorthwoordBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

I start this interview with a super simple question: where is the Arctic? As it turns out, the answer may not be so simple. In fact, it's a serious question that invokes geopolitical conflicts that seem to be undermining the "exceptionalism" of the Arctic. ►In this interview, I discuss the following with Dr. Troy Bouffard: Countries in the Arctic - the Arctic 8, 5 & 3. China - a "Near Arctic Country" Russia and China joint show of force in the Arctic - a wakeup call for America! Can/could Russia embarrass the U.S. with its Arctic forces? Is America prepared to enforce Arctic security? Is Canada prepared to enforce Arctic security? How have supersonic weapons changed Arctic security? Why don't satellites and lasers work in the Arctic? Why role does Greenland play in Arctic security?

Mal Middlesworth served in World War II in the Marine Corps. He was 17 years old during the Attack on Pearl Harbor, serving on a Marine Detachment on the USS San Francisco. In this interview, he describes what he saw during Pearl Harbor, the Guadalcanal Campaign, and the Battle of Peleliu. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jun Fujita is the Japanese-American photographer behind some of the most recognizable photographs taken in Chicago in the 20th century, including his shots of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929, the Eastland passenger boat disaster of 1915, and the 1919 Chicago race riots. Fujita was also a published poet and something of a regional celebrity, known for socializing with William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway. Fujita's foreign identity also made him the subject of government inquiry and suspicion on multiple occasions — during both World War I and World War II — according to Graham Lee, Fujita's great-nephew and the author of a new Fujita biography, “Jun Fujita: Behind the Camera.” After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, Fujita's assets were frozen, his business was shuttered, his cameras were taken away, and he constrained himself to Chicago to avoid possible internment, Lee said. How did Fujita navigate this perilous time for an immigrant in Chicago? We sat down with Lee to discuss how Fujita, a “supremely confident person,” came to rely on both the support of his community and his wits.

This episode was originally released on January 6, 2015. Listen to help prep for the next episode of our new season, The Old Man is Still Alive. This is the story of how Bette Davis evolved from a wannabe starlet who was constantly told she was too ugly for movies, to the most powerful woman in Hollywood, by playing heroines that had never been seen on screen before — to borrow a term from Davis herself, sympathetic “bitches.” After Pearl Harbor, the tenacious Bette became the figurehead of the Hollywood Canteen, a nightclub for servicemen staffed by stars, which was the locus of the industry's most visible support of the troops on the home front. The Hollywood Canteen was a catalyst for propaganda in more ways than one, aims Hollywood furthered by telling the story of the Hollywood Canteen in a movie called, um, Hollywood Canteen, starring Davis, John Garfield, Barbara Stanwyck, Peter Lorre and other celebrities as “themselves.” The movie and most press accounts of the Canteen portray it as a miraculous force for good in the world, which it probably was, but that narrative leaves out a lot, including illicit affairs, a murder, and an FBI investigation whose findings would have an impact on the blacklist of the following decade To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

On the night of February 25, 1942, less than three months after Pearl Harbor, Los Angeles was gripped by fear as air raid sirens wailed and a total blackout stretched to the Mexican border. Powerful arc lamps lit up the sky, and anti-aircraft guns fired wildly as reports of enemy aircraft flooded in — some claiming planes crashed down across the city, though no wreckage was found. Even military leaders couldn't agree on what had happened. Some dismissing it as a false alarm, while others insisted non-U.S. aircraft were present. Eyewitnesses, including trained military observers, described seeing strange, slow-moving objects — one even shaped like a butterfly — and estimating anywhere from 1 to 25 of these aircraft. Decades later, declassified documents suggested the military misled the public, with one army chief allegedly reporting to President Roosevelt that the craft were likely of interplanetary origin. This week, we travel back to 1942 to sift through the conflicting reports, from that night and beyond, to help theorize the true nature of the so-called "Battle of Los Angeles."
