The true story told by the midget submarine officer who became United States P.O.W. #1
Translated by Toru Matsumoto. Annotated by Gary R. Coover.
The December 7, 1941, surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and the subsequent detention and interment of American citizens of Japanese ancestry are two of the most shocking events of the past century.
This is an eyewitness account of both, by the only known midget submarine skipper who survived the attack and who also became United States Prisoner of War #1.
Originally written in Japanese by Ensign Kazuo Sakamaki shortly after the war and translated into English by Toru Matsumoto, this book has long been unavailable and out of print.
This new edition preserves the original story exactly as told and translated, plus includes photographs and annotations to help you better understand the once top-secret midget submarine and the universal nature of the trials and tribulations of a young Japanese sailor caught up in the whirlwind of World War II.
Soft cover. 150 pages. Approximately 5.25 inches by 8 inches. Made in the USA.
Purchased this book some time ago and it is an intriguing read. Glad that his story is told at Pearl Harbor and in the book. Sakamaki was looked down upon when he returned to Japan because he was captured. His nine fellow submariners are honored at Yasukini in Tokyo with photos, but his space is left vacant. He became an automobile executive and moved to Brazil work on operations there. There's a ex-pat Japanese community in Brazil. Highly recommend this book.

My wife and I visited Pearl Harbor in February this year, we went to the book store to buy the t shirt and they were out of my size, I really was impressed with the shirt and continued to research and buy it when I got home. The first time I tried ordering it from home it took about a month and they messaged me and said the shirt was still not available. I tried about another month later and finally received the t shirt I
wanted.
It took
A while but I finally got mine and was not disappointed at all except for the delays.
I love my magnet. I Love that when I visited the Pearl Harbor museum, USS Missouri and the USS Arizona Memorial that I captured this exact picture with the Watch Tower in the center. The magnet is awesome!!!
I ordered 3 shirts for myself and 2 GF's that hiked Diamond Head together.
LOVE the design and colors but the shirts run very small so the sizes I ordered didn't fit as hoped.
I would recommend ordering at least 1 size larger than you normally wear.
Other than that, its a great shirt!
Had this flag flown in honor of my son’s retirement from the USCG. My husband and I had one done for our Navy retirement in 1997. Perfect gift for the retiree of any military branch.
I received the flag I orders along with a very nice certificate of the date and time the flag was flown over the USS Arizona. Thr flag was flown the day I requested and dedicated to the person whom the flag honored and was for. Great service and the flag was delivered in a timely manner.
