A Young Men Story Of Survival At Pearl Harbor

On 7 December 1941, a fleet of Japanese aircraft unleashed a surprise attack on the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor in Oahu, Hawaii. What was it like for those who experienced the raid first-hand? This is a great book if you want to hear the story through the eyes of a very young man, and a common sailor, who was there during the attack. The author was 17 when he joined the U.S. Navy. This was during rough financial times in history. Without a father or mother, the Navy would become his home. He was proud to be a Mexican-American boy, now a part of America's finest. The prospects of learning, and travel, and flying were beyond his wildest dreams. Little did he know that he would be there, One Day In Infamy when America suffered its worst blow in history. The author tells tales, that even to this day in 2015 he hasn't heard anyone else tell. He believes that some of his stories accurately record events that until now haven't been recorded - stories of pride, prejudice, and prostitutes. Most importantly, he believes that a tale from this Pearl Harbor Survivor could help, even if in some small way, so history won't repeat itself. Why did this horrific attack happen? The author knows. This veteran tells you in his book.
