Title: Were our boys really such klutzes in 1941?
Product review: This book was enjoyable in most ways, but also depressing. In the book, Japan's army and navy did everything right, while the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy were Keystone Kops with dog tags.Some interesting Hawaiian characters: Oscar, a no-worries surfing instructor who is forced by the war to grow up; Jiro, a middle-aged fisherman who immigrated from Japan as a youth and who is still loyal to Japan; Jiro's twenty-something sons, Hiroshi and Kenzo, who are loyal to America; and Jim Peterson, a shot-down aircraft-carrier pilot who so much wants to fight the Japs that, when told that no airplanes are left, this Navy O-3 puts on the uniform of an US Army infantry private.
