      Second to the last to leave USS Arizona 12.7.41

      $39.95

      The Lauren F. Bruner story, Memoir of a Sailor, by Edward J. McGrath and Craig O. Thompson.

      "This is the best written and most detailed account of the Attack on Pearl Harbor that I have ever read. It is a true and exciting account, and pretty much exactly like it happened. I should know, since I was on USS Arizona on the morning of 7 December 1941 and was also lucky to make it out alive. This book is so good I didn't want it to end." — Lou Conter, Quartermaster 3/c, USS Arizona crew member and survivor

      "Second to the Last to Leave is a really good story and I guess I should know, because I was on the Arizona with Lauren all those years ago. The way the book is written tells it pretty much exactly the way it happened and the way I remember it. It's been a lot of years and I've read a lot of books all trying to tell the story without ever having been there. But I'll tell you, Lauren's book tells it like it really was." — Howard Kenton Potts, Coxswain, USS Arizona crew member and survivor.

      Soft cover. 471 pages.

      Absolutely Riveting!!

      Purchased this book when we visited the USS Arizona Memorial. This account of the attack on Oahu on 12.7.41 will keep you turning pages! If you purchase one book about this pivotal moment in history, make this the one!

      Second To Last To Leave USS Arizona

      I enjoyed reading the book, away's nice to learn new things.
      I have met 250 plus Pearl Harbor Survivor over the years, and have been there for 3 Dec. 7th Ann.
      We can never forget the man and women who fought and died on that day.

      U.S.S. Arizona Second to the Last to Leave

      First of all, I want to thank Mr. McCoy for his follow-up correspondence. He is very professional and a credit to the National Park System. Second, I ordered the book specifically from your bookstore as I have been there before (75th Anniversary Commemoration) and wish to support you all. Finally, Mr. Brunner’s story is RIVETING! I read the entire book in 3 days! While reading it I felt as if I were there during the attack. I highly recommend this book and am already speaking with other History/Social Studies Teachers about it! Please keep up your good work and know how much I appreciate you all. Thank you.

      Memories from the battleship Arizona

      A fascinating story of one of the last remaining survivors of the U.S.S. ARIZONA . Now that Lauren has recently passed away , this makes this story even more poignant .

      This was a fantastic read

      I purchased this book after my family made a recent holiday to Pearl Harbour and came home with a photograph of the USS Arizona gun turrent explosion after purchasing some T-shirts and other items. Once I read the photograph story I intstantly investigated more about the book, and was thoroughlly wrapt. The book is superb and I would highly recommend it to any other veteran (although a lot younger) for a great read. I loved it. Thank you very much. It arrived in Australia super quick too from when I purchased it. Thanks again.
