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. You can see the sub in Fredericksburg, TX. ( )
