Abstract

Emily S. Rosenberg's A Date Which Will Live makes a valuable contribution to understanding how World War II is perceived in American cultural memory. The author, whose previous scholarly works consider the U.S. in the first half of the twentieth century, is judicious in her survey of viewpoints on Pearl Harbor. She considers various important interpretations of the 7 December 1941 attack, both in the immediate context and over time. She correctly refuses to make sharp distinctions between scholarly and popular views, arguing that they interact rather than simply conflict. [End Page 279]
