Proceed Joseph Clerici

On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the U. S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, killing more than two thousand people, decimating the Pacific fleet. This sneak attack came as a profound shock to the American people and created the major engagement of the US into World War II. The lack of any formal warning by Japan, led to it being characterized as a "sneak attack?. What could have happened as America was distracted by the commitment to WWII and the Japanese hadn?t stopped at Pearl Harbor? What if they had continued on to California and invaded the American mainland? This disastrous scenario is at the heart of Proceed, a riveting new novel that paints a frightening alternative to America?s role in World War II. Proceed offers a richly detailed look into the Japanese plot against the United States. Resonating throughout this tense tale is an undercurrent of warning about the danger of America?s complacency and the illusory sense of invincibility, which could have cost the U. S. its liberty.
