5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, 15 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I usually stick to war novels like The Triumph and the Glory, The Killer Angels, or films like The Thin Red Line to satisfy my interest in WWII, but Gordon Prange and his team of world class scholars have written such a masterful accoun of Pearl Harbor that I've made an exception and read At Dawn We Slept. It was well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Pearl Harbor Account, 13 May 1999
By A Customer
Gordon Prange has written an in-depth, comprehensive account of the Pearl Harbor attack in his book At Dawn We Slept. Mr. Prange and his associates Mr. Goldstein and Ms. Dillon spent years researching the events leading up to the attack, the attack itself, and the subsequent investigations. Many Pearl Harbor "myths" are destroyed in this book, such as the "winds" message and the belief that Roosevelt knew that Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked. This book is the measuring stick by which all other Pearl Harbor books are measured.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE PEARL HARBOR ACCOUNT, 2 Nov 1998
By A Customer
If you wanted to know anything about the Pearl Harbor attack by the Japanese, or what started it, or what followed it, this book offers the most comprehensive account. The reporting is meticulous from both the American and Japanese positions. The author must have been a "fly on the wall" at both Japanese headquarters and aboard their ships, as well as at the Pentagon, Roosevelt's office, and at Pearl Harbor, since there is no other way to account for the rich day to day detail that he provides the reader. This is a most thorough account; whatever questions the reader had about Pearl Harbor before reading this book are definitely answered. Great history with very alive characters.
