War in the Pacific: From Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was very disappointed with this book. Considering that it was published in 1995, I was shocked at the amount of out-of-date and incorrect information it contained. You would be better off purchasing the biased but informative volumes written by Morrison. In fact, this book is little more than a rehash...

Pearl Harbor Countdown: Admiral James O. Richardson Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Although this book is not a great book in that it does not include all aspects of the Pearl Harbor story, it does cover new and overlooked ground that adds another dimension to the American command and political scene at the time. The book centers on the life of Admiral James Otto Richardson, a potential...

Pearl Harbor 1941 (Osprey Trade Editions) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a nice little picture book with an accompanying summary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Pearl Harbor: Japan's Fatal Blunder : The True Story Behind Japan's Attack on December 7, 1941 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)One of the major problems with this book is hinted at by the mixed messages on the cover. I found it (in a library) shelved under nonfiction, history of WWII while the back cover copy describes it as a 'novel'. The confusion is understandable. Albright begins with real historical events (the Russo-Japanese...

Pearl Harbor: Mother of All Conspiracies Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The author has done an excellent job of explaining himself. There is so much information presented in this book that people who get bogged down in minutae may never finish the book! I own many of the books cited by the author. His quotes are correct. His conclusions are good too! Some reviewers have...

Attack on Pearl Harbor: A Pictorial History Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book at the list price is an unbelieveable value considering the never before seen photos and documentation of the Island of Oahu and its many military installations. There are photos of Pearl prior to the attack, during the attack and after the attack including interesting salvage photos. Also...

Pearl Harbor: The Verdict of History Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Over the years, there has developed a "revisionist" group of historians who claimed FDR Knew in advance about the impending attack on Pearl Harbor and he did nothing to stop it. In this excellent book by Gordon Prange, this somewhat questionable viewpoint is thoroughly destroyed. One of the revisionists'...

From Mahan to Pearl Harbor: The Imperial Japanese Navy and the United States Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've read virtually every English-language book on the subject of the history of Japanese militarism and history from Perry through World War II. Had I another life or more time, I would do a PhD on the topic, as it fascinates me deeply. Thus, I greatly anticipated this book, and, despite my low rating...

Who Was Responsible? From Marco Polo Bridge to Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The media has been ignoring it, the government avoiding it, and the right wing denying it. Individual WWII veteran who confessed his experience in war had been sue and trial in court (e.g. The famous To Shiro case, 1997). But finally, the most influential News media in Japan has come fore and done its...
