Ebook About Revisit the definitive book on Pearl Harbor in advance of the 78th anniversary (December 7, 2019) of the "date which will live in infamy"At 7:53 a.m., December 7, 1941, America's national consciousness and confidence were rocked as the first wave of Japanese warplanes took aim at the U.S. Naval fleet stationed at Pearl Harbor. As intense and absorbing as a suspense novel, At Dawn We Slept is the unparalleled and exhaustive account of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. It is widely regarded as the definitive assessment of the events surrounding one of the most daring and brilliant naval operations of all time. Through extensive research and interviews with American and Japanese leaders, Gordon W. Prange has written a remarkable historical account of the assault that-sixty years later-America cannot forget."The reader is bound to feel its power....It is impossible to forget such an account." —The New York Times Book Review"At Dawn We Slept is the definitive account of Pearl Harbor." —Chicago Sun-TimesBook At Dawn We Slept: The Untold Story of Pearl Harbor; Revised Edition Review :
I'm at the 70% mark after a marathon session with my tablet. I cannot put this down! I wanted to write this review before I forgot.This remarkable book is an achievement because it contains both all of the detail you would expect from such a well-researched project and great writing: the author really brings out the personalities in a great piece of storytelling.What really stands out is the way he simultaneously tracks developments in Japan and the US throughout 1941, moving back and forth from the Japanese officers and politicians to their American counterparts. As Yamamoto and a small circle of colleagues start to get serious about the seemingly impossible dream of a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the Americans keep pondering what the Japanese would do if negotiations broke down. Again and again the idea of some sort of attack on Pearl Harbor is brought up and then forgotten. The frustration a typical American reader is likely to feel cannot be overstated. Epic frustration.The detailed examination of the Japanese planning is good not only for those who want to learn about this operation but also, to be coolly objective, it's simply a good case study of people turning over a problem (or opportunity) and looking at it from almost every angle. The contrast between the Japanese and the Americans could not be more stark.To demonstrate how thorough this book is: I bought it on the off chance that I would find an answer to my own question, which was, did the Japanese not realize that it was possible that sunken ships would simply be hauled out, repaired, and sent out to fight the Japanese again? This is the cost of trying to sink ships in the shallow waters of a harbor (with all those repair facilities right there) instead of out in the (for all intents and purposes) bottomless ocean. Anyway, I was sure Yamamoto had considered this (especially since the shallow harbor presented a problem for the Japanese torpedoes).The author did not disappoint. He shows in a couple of places in his narrative how this issue vexed one of the Japanese officers in particular, who was hoping that some of the ships would be parked in a much deeper harbor not too far away. The other harbor was included in the planning, but he was to be disappointed that morning when reconnaissance discovered nothing there. But they did plan for this disappointment: because of the shallow water at Pearl, their mission was not merely to sink the battleships, but to destroy them beyond all hope of repair. An important distinction affecting the detailed instructions given to the pilots.Even so, when one reads the Japanese side, there is a frustration that mirrors the one you might feel while reading the American side of the story: even Yamamoto acknowledged, explicitly, that an operation against Pearl could only be a delaying tactic in a war that America would certainly win. This is something that the Japanese worried about but seemed to have no answer for. The answer might have been in Washington, where Japanese diplomats seemed to be honestly trying to keep the peace, and voiced their frustration with their own government and military for an insistence on imperialist adventures. Gordon Prange did the research and Goldstein/ Dillon wrote the book. I don't know if the fiction is due to Prange or the writers. Two stars are for the historical value with regard to Japanese planning for Pearl Harbor and the American actors during that period, a wealth of information. Beyond that the writers take liberal literary license in saying what actors thought or meant to create history. The book reads like a novel with much speculation. The constant diatribe on 'revisionists', that is, those that say Japan was maneuvered in to the attack and possibly knew it would be Pearl Harbor. The attacks on Admiral Kimmel and General Short for not being prepared for the attack was uncalled for and based on testimony of several Officers after the fact who were covering their own backsides by saying that the Hawaiian commanders should have known what their order meant rather than what the orders said. It got really old.Kimmel and Short followed their orders implicitly as written but were scapegoated for the disaster by those responsible. The primary fault used by Prange or whoever was the lack of searches to the north. In fact, the enemy carriers made their approach timed such that any search would have missed them. The booked went to print about the time a volumnus amount of classified material was released to the public including documents that refute Prange's accusations against the Hawaiian commanders. Since that initial release there have been subsequent releases that document the facts that Japan was maneuvered into the war and that the powers that were knew it would be Pearl Harbor with sufficient time to warn the fleet.I have looked for evidence of who funded this book but didn't find anything. There were books funded by the government ruling party to revise history in order to cover for those in the government who were responsible for Pearl Harbor, ie, Morrison, Whohlstetter, and am still looking for who financed this book.I would not recommend this book to the casual reader of war history as it distorts the facts and will distort the view of the reader who has not read many books on the subject. For Japanese planning and actions prior to the the attack it is useful as a reference.
