About this title

Review:

No matter how many books you've read about the Japanese attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, The Attack on Pearl Harbor: an Illustrated History will add to your understanding of the events of that morning. Illustrated with black-and-white photos and clear, skillful drawings and diagrams, this well-done, oversized paperback is a concisely written, blow-by-blow account of the attack, showing just where and how the Japanese struck and the damage caused. --Sunday Gazette-Mail

The Japanese air attack on Pearl Harbor is depicted in every detail in an illustrated history that examines every phase of the battle with integrated text, historical photographs and diagrams. The Attack on Pearl Harbor by Larry Kimmett and Margaret Regis re-creates the day's events and pays particular attention to the destruction of the battleship Arizona. Silhouette charts identify the role of major naval vessels and aircraft of both the United States and Japan. These drawings coupled with captured Japanese photos follow the attack in progress and give a pilot's view of the torpedo and bombing strikes on the U.S. Pacific Fleet. --Daily Press, Inc., Newport News, Virginia

This excellent illustrated history tells the Pearl Harbor story in a brilliant and concise way. Authors Larry Kimmett and Margaret Regis record the reasons for the attack and touch on the original ambitions of Japan. . . . The mainspring of The Attack on Pearl Harbor is the loss of the USS Arizona. Diagrams and photographs depict in sequence the bomb's strike that led to the magazine's explosion. Touching survivors' stories recall the confusion as planes strafed the ship, dropped bombs and fires started. --Times Record News
