Joshua said: " I got this one but hadn't read the first one, so I figured I should read the first one before I read this one.

The cover text seems backward. It seems like they should have put "Daniel H. Wilson" in big letters, and then, like, "The authorized sequel ...more "

Joshua’s Quotes

“We believed we knew everything they were thinking. Those Magic intercepts made us feel invulnerable. No, a better word is cocky. Their diplomats are chatting back and forth with Tokyo about the weather or color of their new Cadillacs while their military put a plan together to kick us in the teeth. We thought we knew everything. We didn't.
-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt”
― Jeff Shaara, To Wake the Giant: A Novel of Pearl Harbor

“All I propose is an attack that will paralyze the Americans, for perhaps six months. This attack is not about victory, about winning a war...It is about delaying them, keeping them back, damaging their military might and pride.
-Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto”

“I believe every man who stood up was either killed or wounded," said Lieutenant Oliver Williams, who was himself hit. This regiment had participated in a touching event, well remembered by both armies. At Fredericksburg in late 1862, after the Sharpsburg campaign, it had held a dress parade at which the band played "Dixie." Across the Rappahannock a Northern band heard and played back the song as a bit of camaraderie. The band of the 20th North Carolina responded by playing "Yankee Doodle." Then both bands, as if by prearrangement, joined in "Home, Sweet Home." This chorus ran along the lines and both armies sang and wept.”
― Michael Shaara, The Killer Angels
