From Fishponds to Warships: Pearl Harbor provides a sweeping view of the region's past, from geologic origins to fishpond days, through the tense moments before and after the attack, and the years of reflection and repair right up to the present. A valuable resource for anyone interested in Pearl Harbor, it is a colorful work filled with rare photographs documenting the key military figures involved and the intense battle. Wartime posters, advertisements and propaganda are also included, along with a nostalgic look at life in wartime Hawaii.
As with many others I know of Pearl Harbor in connection with the start of WWII but not much else. This book opened a completely new vista for me. The beauty and the tragedy told in a clear respectful loving way. The pictures are breathtaking. I recommend this book to everyone and a must read to every American.
