Remembering Pearl Harbor : Eyewitness Accounts by U.S. Military Men and Women

Presents forty oral histories by the soldiers, sailors, airmen, nurses, chaplains, and wives who were stationed at Pearl Harbor in 1941. In the fifty years that have passed since the Japanese navy attacked Pearl Harbor and America suffered its greatest defeat of the war, many studies of the 'date which will live in infamy' have been written. Virtually every detail of the event has been dissected, every perspective explored--except one. Until now, we have not had a full account from the U.S. enlisted men and women who lived through the attack. This book is their story.
