Surviving Pearl Harbor

This compelling resource chronicles the memorable events of December 7, 1941, the day that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, provoking the United States into entering World War II. Readers will see the attack through the eyes of survivors, such as Donald Kirby Ross, the first WWII-era recipient of the Medal of Honor, and Lee Embree, who took the first air-to-air photographs of Japanese planes and pilots in the attack. Beyond Pearl Harbor, the Ni'ihau Incident and the assault on Oahu’s airfields are also explained.
