This audiobook; "Day of Infamy", is Walter Lord's relatively brief, but very good, history of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The author doesn't delve into the politics or blame for the attack, but confines himself to a straight-forward narrative of the battle. At seven hours long, the book is deeper than a cursory review of the events, but isn't so long as to get into boring detail. The book has the flow of a good novel and the narration (by Grover Gardner--reading as 'Tom Parker') is excellent.

As always with my audiobooks, there are two complete & unabridged versions of the audiobook in this torrent . . . you can choose the mp3 version (every chapter is a single file, 14 files in total - at 128 kbp/s), or you can choose the fully chapterized m4b version for iPod/iPhone/iPad, etc. (1 single chapterized file--at 64 kbp/s, w/ chapter illustrations--NOTE: The photo descriptions can be found on your iPod chapter menu along w/ it's appropriate chapter title). It is also fully tagged for iTunes already.

Included along with the audiobook is an eBook (choose PDF or ePub format): Pearl Harbor 1941 - The Day of Infamy [Osprey - Campaign #062]. This book can serve as a great audiobook companion if you listen to the audiobook on your computer or iPad as it is mainly pictures, maps, charts, etc., and has only short passages of text.
