Reviews
This study of Pearl Harbor's most famous casualty is less a biography of a warship than a sympathetic profile of the crew and their activities. Military hardware buffs may be disappointed with the lack of nuts-and-bolts technical detail about hull and weapon systems, but the story of the ship's career is presented in profusely illustrated detail. Stillwell conducted numerous interviews with Arizona veterans and ends up with a captivating group portrait of officers and enlisted men. He also provides highly readable insight into the swagger and professionalism that made up the once-invincible "Battleship Navy." Previewed in "The Day of Infamy in Print," LJ 9/1/91, p. 206-207.
