The
Attack on Pearl Harbor:
True
Story of the Day
America
Entered World War II
by Shelly Tanaka
The gigantic Japanese
empire attacked a sleeping United States Navy on December 7, 1941.
What was it like to live through the attack on Pearl Harbor? From
multiple points of view (even the "heroic" Japanese), detailed
maps, and primary source photos, relive the attack with real people
from both sides who were there.
Special
Note from Kids' Wings: As patriotic Americans who lost a father and
grandfather to Japanese a kamikazi attack, we at Kids' Wings question
the author's balanced approach. We would use the pictures from this
book, but would be very selective of the text.
