John Nesbitt: Narrator

Quotes 

• Self - Narrator : Shock. Grief. Then, on every Main Street, a rising, burning fury. In the terrible daylight of Sunday, December 7th, 132 million individuals became one. Main Street had become, at last, America. Behind it the land and its people. We, the American people: Lutheran, Methodist, Jew, Catholic, Quaker, Christian Scientist, holy roller, and all the rest of us; Republican, Democrats; rich men, poor men, working men, loafers; geniuses and jitterbugs.

• Self - Narrator : We needed cotton underwear - 33 million pieces.

• Self - Narrator : On the night of December 6th, 1941, as we lowered our heads in thanks over the richest, most heavenly-laden dinner tables of any nation on earth, at this very moment, the trap was being set. In the Far East, where live the Yellow-men of the Axis, secret fingers were slowly drawing back the hammers, cocking the guns. And in the dawning of December 7th, destiny arrived at last.
