Attack on Pearl Harbor: Japan Awakens a Sleeping Giant: Expanded 75th Anniversary Digital Edition by Bert Kinzey
Requirements: PDF Reader, 382.07 MB
Overview: In 2010, Detail & Scale published the original Attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan Awakens a Sleeping Giant at the request of the USS ARIZONA Memorial Foundation, now a part of Pacific Historic Parks. The goal was to produce a reasonably priced book that covered the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in as much detail as possible while limiting the book to a size that could be sold at less than $20 in the Pearl Harbor Museum bookstore. That book proved to be very popular and is now out of print. In researching that book, a significant amount of materials were collected that could not be included because of the limitations of the printing process.
Now, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the attack, Detail & Scale brings you this greatly expanded volume with significant new sections and more information on the attack, including in-depth coverage of the American response. All of the original chapters have been expanded and entire new chapters have been added. This digital publication is over four times the size of the original printed version, and stands as the most profusely detailed and illustrated account of the attack ever published, yet it is priced significantly lower than the original book from 2010.
The book begins with a “Why Pearl Harbor” chapter that summarizes the political events of the previous decade which convinced many Japanese leaders that they had to go to war with the United States, and examines why the Japanese chose Pearl Harbor as the location to launch their dramatic initial blow against the United States Navy in the Pacific. The Japanese attack plan is then covered in the next chapter which is followed with a chapter that looks at the high level commanders on both sides of the attack.
