This is the best account of that day I have found. Excellent audiobook which holds the attention and gives a clear picture of what actually happened from all sides. In an age when history appears to be in the process of being rewritten, books like this containing first hand experiences are worth their weight in gold. So well written and very good narration.

Quite simply an absolutely brilliantly detailed account of the attack. A fantastic performance of the narration too.

As the title of my short review states, the book is very informative. There's a lot of subjects that are delved into and talked about in great detail, both from the American and Japanese perspective. I just felt that some eye witness reports all gave the same view and perspective, and were simply reiterated. I understand that it's to compel the emotion of the time, but it felt a bit stagnant at points.

I found the narration good, though admittadly the accent took some getting used to, yet it became fitting in my eyes.

I'd say it's a good book for background listening.

Incredibly informative, with slight repetition.
