Not just "another" Pearl Harbor book; Nick Veronico's new book Pearl Harbor Air Raid features many never-before-published photographs of the U.S. Navy's Pearl Harbor salvage operations following the Japanese attack. Includes lists of all USN and USAAF aircraft lost in the attack. A great addition to any Pearl Harbor book collection. I was so happy with this book that I purchased additional copies and gave them away as gifts. The recipients were also as pleased as I was.Anthony J.

History does repeats it's self of our enemiesBy AlbuquerqueThe booklet was very good on the photographs and captions! A true presentation of what happened and of the lessons not learned cause of 9/11! We always under estimate the enemies capability! History well presented!!6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. An excellent book; with the best collection of photos of ther attack on Pearl Harbor that I have seenBy Robert MooreThere are several outstanding books on the attack on Pearl Harbor; including the official report on the attack which has been reprinted several times in the past; but I think this might be the best single collection of first rate photos that I have seen. This has an exhaustive collection of photos of nearly every stage of the attack on December 7 and the cleaning up afterwards. The cover has the photo that was recently discussed at length on the outstanding PBS special on the sinking of the U.S.S. Oklahoma; which many say shows a midget sub in the center left of the photo (unless the original has been doctored; the photo really does look like there is a small submarine; the importance of the revelation; apart from its own inherent interest; is that it explains why the Oklahoma's hull was damaged so much more than other places where it and other ships were hit by aerial torpedoes; since a midge submarine torpedo would contain much more explosive). The book is heavy on photos and maybe a little bit light on text; but I have book after book with lots of explanations of the lead up to Pearl Harbor and the results of it; but these photos tell a much better story than any narrative. There is some great back matter; including a list of the various ships in any way connected to the attack. It is great seeing all the American battleships in all their pre-attack glory. If you are interested in WW II and don't have any books on Pearl Harbor; this is a fantastic first book to get. I won't deny that there are easily a dozen additional books on the attack that anyone seriously interested in the opening event of WW II for Americans. I now own 9 and know of 7 or 8 I'd love to get; but we can't get everything we would like; and even if I had the cash; I ran out of shelf space a very; very long time ago; so I have to balance getting a new book against the pain of boxing up books I'd rather keep out on shelves). One other thing to mention is that one thing this book has over some in the past is the quality of the reproductions. Many of these photos have been reprinted on several occasions; but they are clearer here than in some of my other books. But a lot of these photos I have never seen before. This is going to be perhaps the first book I look at in the future when I want to look at photos of America's Day of Infamy (and no; I'm not talking about 11/8/16). I would rate this to be a "Must-Get" for anyone interested in WW II.
