Product Description:
Unlike any other book, Pearl Harbor brings together in one magnificent edition the rich history, real-life stories, harrowing drama, and appalling tragedy of the Japanese attack on the United States' premier Pacific naval base. With a foreword by Senator Daniel K. Inouye and an introduction by preeminent military historian Sir John Keegan, Pearl Harbor imparts the rich historical background of the initial days of the Second World War, the dramatic events of the attack, and the enduring legacy of this wartime disaster. Pearl Harbor features over 200 archival photographs from American and Japanese sources, previously unpublished artifacts, military art rendered from eye-witness accounts of the attack, and full-color battle maps and diagrams.

One of the nice things about Beh Affleck's awful movie was it got people interested in this subject, and a some good books were written for those people to read. Better entertaining than the bomb that they were inspired by.
This one of the better ones. Nicely written. Very informative. Well illustrated both with original art and period photographs. A good read on this subject.

What I liked best about the book were its real-life pictures with facts in the captions. I enjoyed most of the book. My great-grandfather was at Pearl Harbor.

A Fantastic Read
This book is terrific. I really liked the fact that it put the attack in the context of the Second World War. It gives you a good understanding of the conflicts in Europe and the Pacific and helps you to see why the attack was so pivotal. I've never been all that interested in books about war, but this one proved to be engaging and very moving. Susan Wels has done an outstanding job presenting the people and the politics behind this much-discussed event.

With the recent interest in Pearl Harbor bringing books out of the woodwork, I spent alot of time searching for a comprehensive summary of that "infamous" day. This coffee table book has it all. Stunning photography and wonderful writing. From the start, the forward by Senator Inouye brought tears to my eyes. I've gone over it cover to cover several times and its a treasure!! If you have interest in this important part of our country's history...buy this book!

Pearl Harbor is a day that our nation will never forget, and this book helps those who weren't there understand why it is imperative to remember. This book draws up a landscape of history that is relevant to the incident, and discusses both prior and after effects of this notorious day.
The book is excellently done, encompassing informative material that allows people to understand many different aspects of the attack, and life at the base, both before and after.
