Soon after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, they also attacked U.S. military installations in the Philippines. For the army and navy nurses stationed there, what had been a peaceful outpost quickly turned into a raging war zone. When the U.S. and Philippine forces retreated to the Bataan Peninsula and the fortress island of Corregidor, the nurses followed them to the field hospitals to care for the wounded. Persevering through enemy assault and imprisonment, these heroic women became angels of mercy amid the war in the Pacific.

A day of infamy and a day of bravery. Two days of tragedy and a day of triumph. Collected here are the remarkable stories of five crucial days that changed the course of history forever. Witness the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and the D-Day invasion during World War II. Grieve with a nation during the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Bask in the triumph of humanity as Apollo 11 safely delivers the first people to the moon. Through dynamic graphic novel artwork and action-packed text, readers will experience the moments in history that will be remembered forever.
