The characters in the Days of Infamy are very true to life, though there's not much development in the narrative. Of course, the events of the book take place between 7:45 PM on December 7 and 10:00 AM on December 11, so there's not a lot of time for characters to develop and change. But Gingrich and Forstchen have packed a lot into 3 1/2 days. The pacing of the book can sometimes leave you breathless, and more than once I found myself reading "just one more page" after I'd just finished two chapters. This is a great beach read for people who don't always read beach books.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
