Sunday, December 7, 1941 shortly before 8 AM is when the air forces of imperial Japan committed a sneak attack on American forces located at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian islands. More than a military disaster for America the events of that morning prompted a nation to leave the comfort of isolationism, and in short order become not only a world power, but a superpower. The impact of that day, 82 years ago cannot be overstated in terms of how America changed, economically and domestically. In this episode of Law With Mr. Lafayette, the events of that sleepy Sunday morning and its impact on America are reviewed.
