On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack on American military bases in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Masterfully planned and executed, the attack devastated the US Pacific Fleet; in less than two hours, Japanese aircraft had sunk or damaged all eight US battleships anchored in the harbor and had destroyed 151 planes. Thrust into battle, the United States could have only one response: war. DAY OF INFAMY portrays the attack that drove the United States into World War II in full-color, historically-accurate comic book narrative. Featuring the personal stories of front-line heroes like Ken Taylor, George Welch, and mess attendant Dorie Miller, DAY OF INFAMY also provides rich background material – causes and consequences, key players, and a glossary of terms – as well as a list of additional resources that encourages readers to delve further into the time period. DAY OF INFAMY is the ultimate way to experience how Pearl Harbor unfolded and to introduce a lifelong passion for reading.

The disastrous 7 December 1941 attack is the subject of Steve White's PEARL HARBOR, A DAY OF INFAMY. Published by Rosen Publishing and Osprey Publishing in 2007, White's book is part of the 'Graphic Battles of World War II' series.
After a short, 5-page introduction to the pre-war situation and the period immediately prior to 7 December, White and illustrator Jerrold Spahn tell the tale of the Pearl Harbor attack in graphic novel style. Historically, there are a few mistakes in White's text but nothing significant. While Spahn's artwork is pretty inaccurate, readers 9-12 should find it appealing. The book ends with a short, 2-page summary of events after 7 December.In short, PEARL HARBOR, A DAY OF INFAMY does help explain 7 December to younger readers and bring it to life. The information presented is fairly accurate and the graphics are eye-catching. Readers 9-12 should enjoy it. Recommended.

This book would be quite good to draw children's attention to the story of the Titanic. If they are low proficient English speakers, the text is succinct enough and the language structure is adequate to serve the needs of ELLs or ESLs who are starting to learn English. Although it may seem very simple, the story is useful for language learning. If you are looking for a Titanic related text that has more complexity, Isabel's Soto, also from the Graphic Library collection is also very useful.

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. The clothes, the look of the setting and the historical period is very important for the students to see and to learn. I highly recommend these books.
