Days Of Infamy and End of the Beginning make up a two-book series set during World War II. In this alternate history, Japan follows up the attack on Pearl Harbor with a full invasion and occupation of Hawaii. The books follow both the occupiers and the occupied as the war in the Pacific plays out differently.
Published in 2004 and 2005, the duology is one of Turtledove’s more focused works. The confined island setting gives the story a tighter scope than his larger multi-series sagas.
