This work is designed as a reference tool for researchers
investigating the what, when, and why of the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor in 1941. The book provides, for the first time, a
cross-referencing and indexing of the total record of testimony and
evidence that was compiled and published by the U.S. Congress
following U.S. investigations into the Pearl Harbor attack.
Transcripts from the postwar hearings contain significant
information about the diplomatic background of the hostilities, the
first look at the crypto-analytic activities of the U.S. military,
and many of the communications between Washington D.C. and Pearl
Harbor. Eyewitness accounts of the Japanese attack and information
on the United States response to the attack are also found in these
records. The many hundreds of citations for such persons as
President Roosevelt, Cordell Hull, and Admiral Stark are generated
from nearly 30,000 pages of testimony and evidential material, and
have been assembled into main and subcategories to aid the
researcher. The citations involving President Roosevelt, for
example, are made up of over 50 subcategories. This work cites all
persons connected to the Pearl Harbor attack, all ships involved,
and it contains many letters, memoranda, messages, and dispatches
which are listed chronologically. To distinguish ship names from
people, warships from merchant ships, and people from places, the
Index uses the various type fonts that appeared in Samuel Eliot
Morison's Vol. 15 (General Index) of The History of United States
Naval Operations in World War II. This volume is suitable for
Government Deposit libraries, college and research libraries,
public libraries, and federal government offices.
