Summary

"Avenging Pearl Harbor begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor, telling the story of the severe damage dealt to the Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, California, and Tennessee (five of the eight battleships that had been sunk at Pearl Harbor) and the incredible acts of courage performed by the sailors of each crew that morning. It continues with how each ship was raised and repaired-Herculean in scope--and the mustering of new commanders, officers, and crewmen. And it details the final drama of their revenge three years later as each of the five ships returns victoriously to the battle fleet, and their ultimate triumph at the battle of Surigao Strait"--, Provided by publisher
