Pearl Harbor And After Attack
PEARL HARBOR AND HAWAII A Military History, by the
Editors of the Army Time
with an afterword by ,8en. Hiram
Fong. New York: Walker :and Co.. 1S4 pp.. $5.95
At 7:59 a.m.. Dec. 7. .1941, Pacific Fleet. Headquarters broadto all ships in the Hawaiian area. “Air raid on Pearl Harbor!
This is no drill!”
At Mare Island Navy Station, San Francisco, a radioman
picked up this broadcast and relayed it to Washington. Within
hours, all America knew of the Japanesi attack. Even the most
pacific and isolationist realized that Ame ica had become a belligerent in the great war.
Pearl Harbor had become a part, of the national vocabulary
along with Bunker Hill, the Alamo, and Fort
Though Pearl Harbor thus dramatically entered the national
consciousness, it had served the country long before the inglorious
hour when the Pacific Fleet was caught napping there. It serves
America today.
*
*
*
The editors of the present volume ' lave tried to place the
Pearl Harbor attack as a dramatic, point in a sequence
before and after bombs fell on the fleet anchorage. They begin
with the Polynesians arriving- to colonize the islands about the.
5th century A.D.’
The account, mentions the opening of the islands to the civiliz­
ed world through the discovery of them by Captain James Cook.
Landing on the Island of Kauai in January .1778, Cook named the
archipelago for his patron, Lord Sandwich.
Immediately recognizing the value of these fertile islands
ir. mid-Pacific, Americans began to call there on their voyages. In
1840.. Commodore Charles Wilkes, attested to the military potential
when he said of the. mouth of Pearl River. Oahu. “If the water
upon the bar should be deepened . . . it. would afford the best and
most capacious harbor in the Pacific.”
i 18'75, Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield surveyed the. site and
recommended it to the Secretary of War. The renowned naval
strategist, Adm. Alfred Mahan advocated acquiring the anchorage.
King Kalakua ceded to America the “exclusive right to enter
the harbor of Pearl River . . . and to establish ... a coaling and
repair station for the use of vessels of the. United States.” But
America began to develop the harbor only after annexing Hawaii
in 189S, when the war with Spain had accentuated the value of a
Hawaiian anchorage.
The main part of the narrative is devot ed to the Pearl Harbor
attack, gives no new information, but repeats misinformation and
errors from other accounts. On December 7, there were "217 as­
sistant consuls working for Japanese Consul Kita” of Honolulu.
The late Motokazu Mori, a physician, becomes "a dentist con­
federate” of Kita. The
Moris gained their niche in the Pearl
Harbor story because of a phone call to Mrs. Mori, December 5,
from the Yomiuri Shimbun, Tokyo. Mrs. Mori, also a physician,
was a correspondent for this newspaper.
At the time, Army authorities derogated the significance of
this phone call, which was forwarded to them by the FBI. In this
year of 1972, the derogation seems justified. It seems absurd that
the Japanese Navy, poised for a surprise attack, would be tele­
phoning a newspaper correspondent for assistance.

During the attack. a woman looks out the window of her
Waikiki apartment and sees “a smouldering bomb crater in the
street.” No bombs fell on Waikiki, and only one bomb fell on
Honolulu. Unfused U.S. antiaircraft shells caused 39 explosions in
Honolulu, doing- great damage to property and maiming and killing
civilians.
"Japan recognized dual citizenship and still thought of these
naturalized Americans (Nikkei) as Japanese.” Since 1924, Japan
had not recognized American-born Nikkei as Japanese — unless
registered as such with the Japanese consulate. Furthermore, Ja­
panese were barred from naturalization in America. There were
few naturalized Nikkei.
The book has many photographs, but no index. Despite careless
writing, it gives a fair picture of Pearl Harbor in historic context.
