I though this was a very interesting book because it offers view of what it was like at Pearl Harbor from the view of the Japanese Navy. This first hand account would be great to balance sometimes only United States perspective in textbooks. ( ) I have so been wanting to read this book! For years it was only available as the original published in the late 40s and cost hundreds of dollars. I looked just last week and found it had been re-released in 2017! This book is so good! To hear how a Japanese sailor's mind worked and how his mind changed being around Americans. It is such a good story. The re-release has many photographs.

An eyewitness account of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor by the only known Japanese midget submarine officer who survived the attack and subsequently became United States Prisoner of War #1.Originally written in Japanese by Kazuo Sakamaki shortly after the war and titled "Four Years as Prisoner of War No. 1", it was translated into English by Toru Matsumoto in 1949 and retitled "I Attacked Pearl Harbor". Long unavailable and out-of-print, this new 2017 edition preserves the original story exactly as told and translated, plus includes photographs, annotations and a new appendix to 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.
