The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A theologist raising a lone voice against a high crime of state reminds one immediately of the Nazi scourge and the almost lone voice of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, whom Hitler hanged a few days before the end, to rob him of any sense of victory or redemption that he might have enjoyed.The Bush regime presented...

The Attack on Pearl Harbor (Graphic History) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The book is a graphic book about Pearl Harbor. I am using this book to assist my ESOL students in learning American History. It is very hard to understand the history in English when you are learning it and do not know the norms and the culture. These books help students learn English as well as history....

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Work in advertising? See how little it's changed in the last 35 or 40 years by reading this snarky and cutting look inside the biz.

Cultures of War: Pearl Harbor / Hiroshima / 9-11 / Iraq Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you like history and often find true events stranger than fiction, you'll find Cultures of War entertaining.

Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Why do I say I enjoyed the book guiltily? Well, cos' I went to watch the movie and I loved it, I guess i must be a hopeless romantic. But I stiil had to agree about the superficial aspects of the storyline. The war scenes were good but somehow reviews had taught me to beware of the love scenes. Ya right,...

God's Samurai: Lead Pilot at Pearl Harbor (The Warriors) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A friend of mine introduced me to this book in April of this year. He told me it was unlike any book about the Pacific war that he had ever read.

Pearl Harbor Is Burning: A Story of World War II (Once Upon America) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The story takes place in Hawaii, where two boys from very different backgrounds become friends during the strike on Pearl Harbor. This short story is a very good read. My only complaint is that the story ends too soon. The author took time to develop characters but ended the story. It really makes you...

Resurrection: Salvaging the Battle Fleet at Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I tried to think of a way to avoid the Paul Harvey-ish cliché of "the rest of the story," but it's hard to do. Nearly all general histories of the Pearl Harbor attack either end with the close of the attack, or move into the (necessarily more important) aspect of America starting to respond to the changed...

Dec. 7, 1941: The Day the Japanese Attacked Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is a must. Though difficult to obtain, it is well worth the wait. It is a usual Gordon Prange Book: Well researched, easy to read, and without errors.
