An important overview of the events that occurred on December 7, 1941. It was interesting to see the layout of the naval base, maps, and diagrams. I would love to see the Arizona memorial at some point to pay my respects... unbelievable that 1,170 servicemen lost their lives on that battleship alone.

I learned new information about the attack of Pearl Harbor, and this book made me shocked because the country that I live was attacked by my home country.

Pretty good little history book on a horrific war tragedy.

This is a good book for older grades when they learn about Pearl Harbor. It is filled with real pictures from this event and can get a better understanding about it based on all of the detailed information in this book.

A short, commemorative book about the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Includes many historic photos, both from Hawaii and from the Japanese, with descriptions of how the attack was plotted.
