Air Raid - Pearl Harbor! By Theodore Taylor

Air Raid - Pearl Harbor! The Attack that stunned the World By Theodore Taylor

The book I read is Air Raid - Pearl Harbor! The Attack that stunned the World. By Theodore Taylor. This book is about how the Japanese planned a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. When the U.S used their decoder in Washington, named Purple, they found out that the Japanese were planning an attack on a U.S Base and the Government did not think that it would be Pearl Harbor. The book tells how planes were spotted on the radar and nobody thought it was enemy planes so they let them approach, thinking they were friendly because they did not think anyone would attack Pearl Harbor. It tells about the events leading up to Pearl Harbor, how the U.S was taken by surprise, why it took them so long to defend themselves, where all U.S support planes and carriers were, how the Japanese signaled their troops in the air to get ready for an attack, how well prepared the Japanese were, the amount of destruction that was caused, and how the U.S retaliated.

On a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best) I give this book a rating of : 8
