The Longest Day, it is both a book and a movie. The cast of the movie has over 40 int. stars like Sean Connery and John Wayne. The book is by Cornelies Ryan. (Movie and book Almost identical.) They follow the Germans, And Americans An excellent book about Pearl Harbour is Day of Infamy by the late Walter Lord. An excellent movie about Army Nurses in the Philippines, 1941-42 is So Proudly We Hail!, starring Claudette Colbert, Veronica Lake, George Reeves (Superman on TV in the 1950's) & Paulette Goddard (one of Charlie Chaplin's ex-wives). Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com For "D-Day" the "Longest Day" (as already recommended) is great, and the "50th Anniversary video" version is in color, and they did a good job. The book is excellent as well. Another book, with the German view of the battle, that I enjoy is: "Invasion - They're Coming" by Paul Carell (It is an old book, from 1963, possibly available in used book stores or on Amazon.com) An additional recommendation for the Pearl Harbor attack, which includes the background, is "Tora,Tora,Tora." Originally the movie was in the Japanese language for that side (with sub-titles), however I have heard that recent versions have translated the Japanese parts. This is good, because on a television set the sub-titles could be rather hard to read. I do not know if there is a book by that name that is parallel the movie. Hope this helps, John Don't forget the movie "Tora, Tora, Tora!" Excellent Japanese and American representation.

Where did japan attack first during World War 2?
The first location that Japan struck during WWII was Pearl Harbor, on December 8, 1941 at 2:48am Japan Time (December 7, 7:48am Hawaii Time.) Later that day, Japan also invaded Thailand and Malaya. Most historians agree that WWII started with Pearl Harbor. However, some historians will even say WWII started in 1937 - when Japan fought China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Or, even further back as 1931 when Japan invaded Manchuria. So, it really depends on when you think WWII started. But, it is a safe bet that Pearl Harbor is the right answer.

Where is Pearl Harbour?
A US naval base that was attacked by Japan in December of 1941. Strictly speaking, "Pearl Harbor" is the name of the body of water (technically, a lagoon/harbor of the ocean) in the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The city of Honolulu is built on its shores, and the United States has operated a major naval base there since 1887. Historically speaking, the Attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise Japanese aerial assault on 7 Dec 1941 on the U.S. Naval Base, especially the ships of the Pacific Fleet, as well as the nearby U.S. Army airfields of Wheeler and Hickham (plus others on Oahu), with the goal of crippling the U.S. naval presence in the Pacific.

How successful and for what reasons was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?
The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred in an attempt by the Japanese to gain control of as much land as possible. The attack itself was very successful by damaging the ships in harbor. The one major point that was not expected was that none of the Aircraft carriers were in the harbor during the attack. Had they been, the US Navy would have nearly been wiped out according to information I have read. The information I have has come from various websites and books like "Day of Infamy" by Walter Lord.
