Book Reviews of Pearl Harbor: A Novel of December 8th

Book Review: Very nice read
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a big Newt fan...he's a smart, educated former teacher who knows his stuff. The editor of this book should be taken to task, however, as there were many errors throughout. Even the cover material. But I still recommend it to all who lived through Pearl Harbor and who live in Hawaii.

My grandfather served on the USS Napa during WWII, and that's the subject of Navy vet Arvy Geurin's Walking Through Fire, An Iwo Jima Survivor's Remembrance

Summary of Pearl Harbor: A Novel of December 8th

Fresh from their series on the American Civil War, bestselling authors Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen now launch a new epic adventure by applying their imaginations and knowledge to the ?Date of Infamy?---the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Pearl Harbor covers the full spectrum of character and events of that historic moment, from national leaders and admirals to the views of ordinary citizens caught in the chaos of war. From the chambers of the Emperor of Japan to the American White House, from the decks of aircraft carriers to the playing fields of the Japanese Naval Academy, this powerful story stretches from the nightmare slaughter of China in the 1930s to the lonely office of Commander James Watson, an American cryptographer, who suspects the impending catastrophic attack. It is a story of intrigue, double-dealing, the horrific brutality of war, and the desperate efforts by men of reason on both sides to prevent a titanic struggle that becomes inevitable.

A compelling, meticulously researched saga, Pearl Harbor is also a novel of valor about those who took party in this cataclysmic moment in world history. It inaugurates a dramatic new Pacific War series that begins with the terrifying account of the day that started it all.
