Book ID/图书代码: 08900016B89230
English Summary/英文概要: On December 7, 1941, even as Japanese carrier–launched aircraft flew toward Pearl Harbor, a small American cargo ship chartered by the Army reported that it was under attack from a submarine halfway between Seattle and Honolulu. After that one cryptic message, the humble lumber carrier Cynthia Olson and her crew vanished without a trace, sparking one of the most enduring nautical mysteries of the war. What happened to the ill–fated ship? What happened to her crew? And was she Japan’s first American victim of the Pacific War?Based on years of research, Dawn of Infamy explores both the military and human aspects of the Cynthia Olson story, bringing to life a complex tale of courage, tenacity, hubris, and arrogance in the opening hours of America’s war in the Pacific.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 1941年12月7日,日本从航母上起航的飞机正在飞向珍珠港。而正在此时,一艘美国军队特许的美国货船报告其在从西雅图驶向火奴鲁鲁中途受到潜水艇的攻击。在这段神秘的信息之后,这艘不起眼的木材船Cynthia Olson和她的船员便消失得无影无踪,变成了战时最久远的海上之谜之一。这艘遭受噩运的船上究竟发生了什么?她的船员又去哪里了?她是太平洋战争中遭到日本袭击的第一个美国受害者吗?
本书基于多年的研究,从民间和军方两方面研究了“Cynthia Olson号”的历史故事,将这个发生在美国太平洋战争初期的关于勇气、毅力、傲慢的错综复杂的故事呈现在读者面前。(LYR)
