Hawaii Goes to War: The Aftermath of Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)With the release of the new movie "Pearl Harbor", there is heightened interest in the events that began our involvement in World War II. This short work fills some of that knowledge gap, and it's crammed full of wonderful photographs taken by the female author's mother while she lived in the islands...

The broken seal: the story of "Operation Magic" and the Pearl Harbor disaster Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If the words Purple, Magic, or Arlington Hall do not hold a beguiling fascination for you then please see the other reviews. This is not a book about Pearl Harbor per se. It is a wonderful, concise history of the post WWI American intelligence and its early victories with Japanese code breaking. Fargo...

The Eagle and the Rising Sun: The Japanese-American War, 1941-1943: Pearl Harbor through Guadalcanal Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Having read extensively on the subject matter within this book previously, it was nice to read a build up to Pearl Harbor (making the subtitle of the book somewhat of a misnomer) and not just diving into the war in the first chapter. I had read the history of SE Asia preceeding WWII in bits and pieces...

Hawaii Goes to War: Life in Hawaii from Pearl Harbor to Peace Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The neutral research by experienced authors having lived through this time with "Press Pass" authority made this book a great read for me. I have not read a better book about this amazing time, in the most amazing place. Standards of our society were forever changed and I now understand how it happened.Click...

Niihau IncidentThe Niihau Incident: The True Story of the Japanese Fighter Pilot Who, After the Pearl Harbor Attack, Crash-Landed on the Hawaiian Island of Niihau and Terrorized the Residents Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In "The Niihau Incedent," Beekman uses interviews of some of the principal individuals in the story, along with thorough research of historical recodrd and news accounts, to relate the story of the "invasion" of the Hawai'ian island of Ni'ihau by a Japanese pilot during WWII. This is a fascinating story,...

Tongue of War: From Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The second world war brought much change for many Americans, be they soldier or on the home front. "Tongue of War: From Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki" is a collection of poems from Tony Barnstone discussing the many elements of World War II with much emotion and perspective. "Tongues of War" is a fine work...

December 6: A Novel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Martin Cruz Smith is one of the most the most skillful and versatile writers of contemporary fiction. His work is painfully researched (accounting for the relatively short list of published works) and beautifully written. 'December 6' is no exception, as Smith again demonstrates the range of his talents,...

Pearl Harbor Survivors: An Oral History of 24 Servicemen Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this short paperback at the Arizona Memorial bookstore for $35 and it must be the worst value I have ever received from a book. It reads like a rough draft and appears not to have benefited from any editing at all. Further, the subtitle is misleading. This cannot be an oral history unless the...

Kimmel, Short, and Pearl Harbor: The Final Report Revealed Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I really have only one problem with this book and that's with the sub-title where it's called the "Final Report." I don't think there will ever be a "Final Report" on Pearl Harbor. This is the report of the tenth investigation into what happened. There are too many revisionist historians who want to...

The Pearl Harbor Story the True Account of the "December 7" Attack Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is apparently a book which is sold at the Pearl Harbor memorial in Hawaii. It was written by Captain William T. Rice, USNR (Ret). The best thing about this little book is the full color pictures on every page, and the short but detailed information on each US ship that was lost.Click Here to see...

Pearl Harbor: Deadly Surprise Attack (American Disasters) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Pearl Harbor: Deadly Surprise Attack is part of the American Disasters series, a group of juvenile-literature titles intended to introduce elementary-age kids to momentous negative events in American history. As an introduction, this is a decent enough title, I suppose. But it's really nothing to get...

The Panay Incident: Prelude to Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)On 12 December 1937, USS PANAY, a small, under-armed gunboat, was sunk by Japanese planes. As the survivors of the PANAY rowed ashore in their lifeboats, they were shot at from Japanese ground troops. The incident was a footnote in the Japanese battle for Nanking. Nor was this the only attack against...

West Point to Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)From the moment I opened the first pages, I was immediately drawn into the story. The introduction, alone, brought me to tears. I come from a strong military family having fought in WWI, WWII, and my Father fought (and come home)in Vietnam. Of course there are other unspoken conflicts that many other...

Pearl Harbor Fact & Reference Book Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The correct full title of this book is: "Pearl Harbor Fact and Reference Book: Everything to know about December 7, 1941". It provides a strict "Question & Answer" format. Little snippets of interesting trivia; but many of the answers are too short -- it provides the "fact" but misses in analyzing...

Pearl Harbor & other memories Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Memoirs of his service in the Navy during World War 2 as well has his life & adventures in Alaska after the war - including climbing Mt. McKinley. He, along with is 5 brothers were on the battleship USS Nevada during the Pearl Harbor attack, and were then transferred to the aircraft carrier USS Lexington,...

The War in the Pacific: From Pearl Harbor to Okinawa, 1941-1945 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Considering the lack of published US Army photos of the war in the Pacific, Gawne's book is an excellant entry into an almost empty field. If I see another book on the PR savy Marines, I think I'll explode. The captions are quite good with some little known uniform and equipment details. The publisher...

Pearl Harbor Dot Com Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Is it really paranoia when they are out to get you? Those who ignored the message in the first publication should make it required reading now, as should anyone conducting business on the Internet today.The story line in Pearl Habor Dot Com is totally credible, much like the authors credentials. Understand...
