THE CLEVELAND PRESS, Ohio, Dec. 8, 1941
* Attack on Pearl Harbor - Hawaii
* U.S. enters World War II - WWII
Nice banner headlines on the bombing of Pearl Harbor, plus America's entry into World War II: "1500 DEAD IN HAWAII RAID" "Congress Wildly Cheers F. D. R. As...U.S. VOTES WAR ON JAPS".
Seeming the complete issues with pages 1-38, in two sections, however one interior leaf is lacking. No wear at the central fold & minimal wear at the margins. There are various tears at margins to inside pages.
Background: The Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 8, 1941 (December 7 local time in Hawaii) stands as one of the most transformative cataclysms in global history, instantly shattering American isolationism and thrusting the United States into World War II. Striking the U.S. Pacific Fleet at anchor in Oahu, the assault resulted in the tragic loss of over 2,400 American lives, the destruction of nearly 200 aircraft, and the sinking or severe damage of twenty naval vessels, including eight battleships. This devastating tactical strike intended to neutralize American naval power instead triggered an immediate, unified surge of national resolve; President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously branded it "a date which will live in infamy" as Congress overwhelmingly voted to declare war. By forcing the United States to mobilize its immense industrial capacity and military might, Pearl Harbor fundamentally altered the trajectory of the war, leading to the ultimate defeat of the Axis powers, the restructuring of global alliances, and the emergence of the United States as a dominant, permanent global superpower in the post-war era.
