Pearl Harbor : from infamy to greatness / by Nelson, Craig,1955-author.(CARDINAL)421657;
Includes bibliographical references (483-498) and index.Dreadnoughts and holystones -- The roads to war. Conceiving the inconceivable ; A sinister wind ; Autumn 1941 ; November ; December 6 -- Strike! From the air ; Pearl Harbor ; Describing the indescribable ; Infamy ; Resurrection -- Victory. Vengeance ; Triumph ; Legacy -- Appendix 1. Judgment and controversy -- Appendix 2. The Medal of Honor.The America we live in was not born on July 4, 1776, but on December 7, 1941, when an armada of Japanese warplanes supported by aircraft carriers, destroyers, and midget submarines suddenly attacked the United States, killing 2,403 men and forcing America's entry into World War II. Author Craig Nelson maps the road to war, beginning in 1914 with the laying of the keel of the USS Arizona at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, following Japan's leaders as they lurched into ultranationalist fascism, and providing a blow-by-blow account from both the Japanese and American perspectives. Backed by 5 years of research, Nelson delivers all the terror, chaos, violence, tragedy, and heroism of the attack in stunning detail and offers surprising conclusions about the tragedy's unforeseen and resonant consequences that linger even today. --

The Fujita plan : Japanese attacks on the United States and Australia during the Second World War / by Felton, Mark,1974-author.(CARDINAL)487851;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 202-205) and index.After the staggering success of the Pearl Harbor surprise attack, the Japanese plotted to maintain the initiative and spread fear and panic among the civil population of the United States and Australasia. With his usual skilled research the author has uncovered numerous plans. Some like the midget submarine attack on Sydney Harbour and the daring Seaplane air raids on Oregon were put into effect. Others never reached that stage due to either impracticality, bad luck or counter-espionage. The Fujita Plan throws fascinating new light on a little known aspect of the Second World War.

World War II produced many epic naval battles and technologies. The many resulting shipwrecks from this immense war unintentionally created a record of new warfighting technologies that today's armchair explorers and shipwreck hunters can participate in. In an accessible format with over 200 illustrations, Hidden Warships details the combat, recovery, and preservation of combat ships from World War II--beginning with the Japanese midget submarine attacks on Pearl Harbor--to the sinking of the postwar aircraft carrier USS Oriskany. In addition to the many combat ships that were sunk across the globe and have been located, a number of submarines once lost in action have recently been found, including the aircraft carrying Japanese sub I-401, the USS Grunion, and the combined fleet sunk while testing atomic bombs at Bikini Atoll, including the German cruiser Prince Eugen. Author and naval history expert Nicholas Veronico also profiles the extensive postwar 'mothball' fleets and many others. Hidden Warships concludes with a list of preserved World War II ships, an Internet resource guide, and bibliography and suggested reading list for the enthusiast to continue the exploration. By the end, you will be able to explore many 'Hidden Warship' wrecks without getting your feet wet"--Provided by publisher.
