A visual lesson in History of December 7th, 1941 and the aftermath

I bought this book after visiting Pearl Harbor. I toured Ford Island and drove through Schofield barracks. I visited the Arizona memorial and the Utah Memorial. I stayed at the current Marine Corps Base that used to be Kanoehe NAS and also at Barber Point which was the former Ewa MCAS. I saw all the sites of today and this book had chapters and pictures of the same places and ships from 1941. It was so surreal. Many of these pictures I have never seen in all the different books I have read on Pearl Harbor and all the documentaries I have seen. It was amazing. The book is filled with many eyewitness accounts and flooded with a feast of pictures. This is a must for any Pearl Harbor interest. I appreciate the many pictures and accounts of the aftermath, the incredible salvage of the ships and repair of the airways and the pictures and accounts of all the people of Hawaii, both military and civilian, as they prepare for war. You have to see it to appreciate it. Get it, read it, love it.

100's of photos at an Excellent Price.......

This book at the list price ... is an unbelieveable value considering the never before seen photos and documentation of the Island of Oahu and its many military installations. There are photos of Pearl prior to the attack, during the attack and after the attack including interesting salvage photos. Also included are eyewitness accounts of young sailors.. There is also a chapter devoted to photos from the Japanese perspective. This book was formerly published as "East Wind Rain." This book is a definite must have..
