On December 7, 1941, Japan waged a surprise attack on the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. It was a major victory for the Japanese Navy, which in less than two hours destroyed 188 American planes, damaged another 159, and sunk or seriously damaged 18 U.S. warships. The battleships Arizona and Oklahoma were sunk. The battleships California, West Virginia, and Tennessee were badly damaged and would not rejoin the United States fleet for months. Over 2,400 American military personnel were killed and 1,178 were wounded. The Japanese lost 29 planes and pilots and five midget submarines and one large sub with their crews.
Here are 24 personal accounts of servicemen who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. These accounts cover in detail the location of each of the men and his experience during and after the attack. Also included is general information about Pearl Harbor.
About the author: Harry Spiller served two tours in Vietnam with the Marine Corps. He is an associate professor of criminal justice and the author of Prisoners of Nazis (1998) and American POWs in Korea: Sixteen Personal Accounts (1998). He lives in Marion, Illinois.
This book is wonderful! Full of so much information. Amazing stories! I can't imagine having lived through this. Every time we visit Oahu we make sure to visit Pearl Harbor. In October 2024 the park ranger told the story of the bugler and the fighter pilot before we went out to get on the boat to the memorial. Always save room in your heart for grace! Thank you for making these books available when we get back home and wish we were still in Hawaii!

While visiting Pearl Harbor in 2025 I made various purchases at the gift shop but didn't see this item there (it was on my 'to buy' list). While recently purchasing some items off the online site I decided to get it. A very cool item I'll add to the rest of my Pearl Harbor memorabilia.
I visited Pearl Harbor in 2025 and made a bunch of purchases at the gift shop but didn't see this item. While recently ordering some items off the online site I came across this and thought it was pretty cool. And it is! Good quality and great to look at.It's now the main bookmark for my reading material.
While visiting Pearl Harbor in April of 2025 I purchased some items including this bookmark at the gift shop. While recently ordering som other items online I decided to snatch up a couple more. A great and cool souvenir memorial item. You can never have too many bookmarks!
I visited Oahu in April 2025 and spent a lot of time at Pearl Harbor. I picked up a bunch of items including t-shirts at the gift shop but didn't see this one. I recently visited the online site and saw it and knew I had to have it. Made of the same durable quality as the other shirts I purchased and very cool looking. A great addition to my collection.
I ordered a flag to be flown at the USS Arizona for my son 50th birthday when i became the senior on 04-25-1976 and to remember the sailors who perish when the ship went down in the harbor god bless all that perish on that day.
A high-quality shirt that fits well. It features an embroideeed name and logo and the fabric looks like it will hold its shape and color for a long time.
