Great

This is a terrific read. I would definitely recommend it to anybody and everybody. I learned a lot.

History in the first person

History comes alive as the author builds upon the work of other to bring a turning point in American history alive

An Excellent Nonfiction Compilation of The Events of December 7, 1941

This work is an excellent Nonfiction History of the events immediately leading up to, during, and immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is clearly written and is based on many first hand accounts of persons involved. Although nonfiction, there were times the book read as an action story. Obviously the tragedies were real and quite sobering.

Obviously this attack was one event in the midst of many other events worldwide. In that context this book is fairly restricted to the attack. As an amateur history student, I had jus finished "Japan 1941" by Eri Hotta, another nonfiction that was also excellent. This work under review proved the perfect historical sequel. Between these two excellent history books, I feel I learned a great deal about the beginning of the Pacific War from both American and Japanese perspectives.

In that this fine work is taken from contemporary first hand accounts, a reader/ listener should anticipate some angry descriptions including angry ethnic references. I only state that to avoid a reader / listener from being unpleasantly surprised. I think that may be unavoidable in a work of this nature if the authors are faithful to the actual accounts. Thank You...
