About This Book
A presidential address to a joint session of Congress reports a sudden, large-scale naval and air attack on American territory and outlines the ensuing strikes across the Pacific. The speaker details material damage and loss of life, describes efforts at diplomatic deception, declares that hostilities exist, requests a formal recognition that a state of war exists, and urges national resolve and full military measures to secure eventual victory.
