Availability:

Book Description
Raymer's
World War II memoirs throw some light on a literally dark side of Pearl
Harbor and the Pacific war--the salvage efforts on sunken and damaged
ships. He spent most of his wartime diving career in Hawaii, working on
ships ranging from the ruined Arizona to the comparatively easily
salvaged California, but also took a side trip to Guadalcanal
aboard a salvage tug. His is a plain tale plainly told, and one could wish
for more material on diving and less on chasing women and liquor ashore.
Yet Raymer pays tribute to fallen comrades--diving was nearly as dangerous
as combat--to good and bad superiors and divers, and to the technical
ingenuity of the U.S. Navy at the time of its greatest trial. He adds more
than enough to our knowledge of the Pacific war for his recollections to
be worthwhile. Roland Green.

Kilroy is a reminder that as America rediscovers World War
II in such movies as Pearl Harbor, it is clear that much of the tragedy
that came out of that conflict was made bearable by generous doses of
humor from all fronts -- at home, in Europe, and in the Pacific.
Now, inspired by a ubiquitous piece of graffiti that U.S. servicemen left
behind during WWII, Emmy Award-winning television journalist Charles
Osgood has collected an assortment of classic stories and comic tales that
celebrate the good humour that buoyed American spirits throughout the
world. (Visit their site.)

Wind Rain : A Pictorial History of the Pearl Harbor Attack (recommended)
by Stan B. Cohen
Our Price: $14.95
Book Description:
Reviewer: Dr.
Martin Davis (vsfg37a@prodigy.com) (see more about me)
from New York:
This is a superior historical review, in pictorial form, of the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor. The 50th Anniversary edition has been greatly expanded
to include diagrams and photographs that were not in the original edition.
Although of a pictorial nature, the text is scholarly, extremely
well-researched and concise. The maps and previously unpublished photographs
place the attack in an accurate historical context. This book is in the
"must read" classification and it is another diamond among author
Stan Cohen's many diamonds.

Book Description
70 b/w photos, 14 color, 7 x 9
Sunday December 7, 1941 saw the dawn of modern warfare. Air superiority and
surprise led to the shattering of the superior US Pacific fleet in one stroke.
The full might of Japanese naval aviation power was hurled against the United
States as six aircraft carriers disgorged their full complements in two waves.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was either a brilliant maneuver by an audacious
strategist or unparalleled villainy and deception by a supposedly friendly
power. The attack on the home of the US Pacific fleet precipitated the
intervention of the United States into WWII, and became a key event in world
history.

Availability:
On Order; usually ships within 1-2 weeks.
Book Description
Lawrence Rodriggs has given
us a glimpse into the souls of those who were on Oahu the day Pearl Harbor
was bombed. Their lives were changed forevermore. In their interviews with
the author, each person recalled in vivid color the events of that day. A
variety of races was represented, as were men, women, boys and girls, from
a wide range of occupations and backgrounds. Having read military accounts
of Pearl Harbor, it was with great interest that I read the eyewitnesses
of civilians in their own words. For many, it was as if it had happened
yesterday. These people did whatever was necessary to survive during those
most difficult days. They showed deep commitment to their families and to
our country. Their resilience is an inspiration to all of us.

This is the most scholarly

Pearl Harbor attack. It is based on 37 years of research by the late
Gordon Prange and covers every conspiracy ever written about the Pearl
Harbor attack. It concludes that no one person was responsible and that,
in a way, everyone was responsible. This is a must for all serious
students and should put to rest most of the myths and mysteries associated
with this day.
