ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR: CAUGHT BY SURPRISE

9PM, CH5

This three-part documentary marks the 80th anniversary (on December 7) of the Japanese attack on the US Naval base in Hawaii that brought America into the Second World War. Veterans from both sides of the conflict (including Cass Phillips, right) tell the story of one of the most daring assaults in history – one, we learn here, that could have been even worse for the US if not for a misfired flare. Still 2,403 American lives were lost and 19 Navy ships damaged or destroyed in a devastating 24-hour period.
