My mother recommended this book to me as she heard good things about it and I just finished it. You must remember that the original author died and his students finished this book. It was completed in 1980 which makes it now 31 years old presently. I would offer that with the advent of computers, even more info might be made available. What IS fascinating about this book is not so much about new ground being plowed but how the Japanese approached the attack and that many details that they had been planning around it for several years prior to the attack. The author had created many close relationships with the Japanese officers, all of which are sure to be dead by now, yet he was able to gain much information from them for future generations. I don't think there is any real new information in terms of having history look at this case anymore but the thoroughness of the book is to be admired.Read full review
Much research went in to this Book. Have not read it but tidbits reveal a lot of events not given to general public and events that should have created a warning of attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941. Lots of pictures of individuals who planned and led the forces. I know I will enjoy the book.

No greater re-cap of the event that changed history forever. Straight from the Japanese planner's mouths. True history without the leftist revisionist bias of today's textbooks. Our leaders did not take them seriously enough and the exact is being repeated today except the Asian threat is now from China.
