Customer Reviews

A great book

As with all of Stillwell's books, this one is entertaining. The variety and different aspects of the stories in this piece make it a keeper. If the attack on Pearl Harbor is of any interest to you, you really need to consider adding it to your collection. I met the author on a recent trip to Hawaii and found him to be a really interesting person to talk to. Buy a Stillwell book and you will get your money's worth.

Truth is often far more fascinating than fiction

There are a lot of reasons to find Ben Affleck's Pearl Harbor movie bad. A bad story based more on Star Wars than on what happened with a pathetic love triangle and unreal characters. Indeed, of all the characters, only one, the guy Cuba Gooding Jr played was real. This book with the recollections of those there would have made a better movie. All of the people in here are real. And very very fascinating. From Tai Sing Loo the Hawaiian born Chinese Photographer's eyewitness accounts to Japanese admiral Kickisaburo Nomura, from Navy wife Peggy Ryan (no relation) to Arizona survivor V Adm Kleber S. Masterson, this book provides the reader great insights into this event. Would make a great movie.
