This Is No Drill: Living Memories of the Attack on Pearl Harbor

This book is an oral history of the attack on Pearl Harbor as told by members of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association. All of the stories are riveting, clear-as-yesterday accounts of seaman, aviators, and Marines who were on the ships, on shore, or at the air bases during the attack. The book is highly readable and a quick read. It's that good. The other book I would recommend is another oral history of Pearl Harbor called "Remembering Pearl Harbor". Both complement each other exceptionally well. Both are highly recommended.
