  • Summary, etc. - "Even though the United States was still officially at peace prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, it was secretly devising a chain of intelligence-sharing alliances with future allies in the impending war in the Pacific. This is a book about those alliances. It brings together pieces of often isolated details, allowing readers to gain a sense of how the chain of alliances came to exist, how they functioned and what were their limitations."
