A veteran's account of two hours in Washington DC on Sunday, December seventh, 1941, when, after receiving notice of the Japanese
attack on the US Navy fleet anchorage at Pearl Harbor Hawaii, Secretary of State Hull broke off negotiations with Japanese
Ambassador Kurusu and Special Envoy Nomura and showed them the door. Previously unpublished copyrighted photographs show the
diplomats leaving the State Dep't and chatting with a knot of reporters outside; reporters as yet unaware that the United
States and the Japanese Empire were already at war.

The illustrated booklet is dedicated to all those who have, are now, or will serve at the call of their country. It is a memento
of a terrible day for the United States as seen from a chilly overcast Washington DC.
