Description
December 7th 1941. Hundreds of Japanese fighter planes carried out a devastating surprise attack on the American naval base in Hawaii and changed the face of World War II. On this 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Pearl Harbor, the authors of this wide-ranging collection of WW2 stories invite you to step into December 1941 with them and experience the lives of the people who were irrevocably altered by that fateful day.
Stories include:
“Deadly Liberty” by R.V. Doon: Connie Collins, a navy nurse on the hospital ship, USS Solace, takes liberty the day before Pearl Harbor.

When liberty turns deadly, shipmates become suspects.
“The List” by Vanessa Couchman: A high-ranking German officer is assassinated in Western France and 50 hostages are shot. Fifty more will be executed if the killers are not handed over. Jewish communist Joseph Mazelier is on the list. Will Countess Ida agree to help him escape?
