-As a witness to this book's era, I find the Crucible of a Generation as accurate as it is readable and enlivened by touches of humor. It portrays vividly scenes America can never forget.- --Norman J. Wiener, U. S. Army Counter-Intelligence Corps. (1943-46, 1951-52) -[A] fascinating chronicle of America's transformation over -fifteen fateful days,- from a country fiercely divided between isolationists and interventionists to one united in pursuit of unconditional victory... The impact of Pearl Harbor on the American psyche was breathtaking and immediate, and it changed the character of the American nation from that of an observer of the world scene to its central actor. Mr. Brody's sense of history and eye for detail make rewarding reading.- --James L.
