Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Collaboratively written by James Edwin Alexander and William R. Burkett, The Secret Court Martial Of Admiral Kimmel: Pearl Harbor Revisited is a fictional courtroom drama concerning a court-martial trial that never took place -- but perhaps should have. It revolves around Admiral Kimmel, Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the man who received the lion's share of the blame for the Japanese sneak attack that took place on December 7, 1941. Admiral Kimmel asked for a court martial to clear his name, but his request was never granted by the War Department. Highly recommended reading, especially for World War II military buffs, The Secret Court Martial Of Admiral Kimmel is a tightly-written testimony, composed and presented in the style of a courtroom transcript, and with a dialogue as sharp as a cutting-edge radio play, so deftly endowed with a powerful sense of tone and conviction that the reader will find it hard to believe that this is, in fact, a work of historical fiction.
