larke。 Mr。 Clarke's wonderful book is a vivid picture of Honolulu in 1941 filtered through a modem prism; this work… along with Tarzan Forever…provided the spine of my research; and I am indebted to him。
Other Hawaii references consulted include: All the Best in Hawaii (1949); Sydney Clark; Aloha Waikiki (1985); DeSoto Brown; Around the World Confidential (1956); Lee Mortimer; Detective Jardine: Crimes in Honolulu (1984); John Jardine with Edward Rohr…bough and Bob Krauss; Hawaii: A Profile (1940); Merle Colby; Hawaii Recalls (1982); DeSoto Brown; Anne Ellett; Gary Giernza; Hawaii: Restless Rampart (1941); Joseph Barber; Jr。; Hawaiian Tapestry (1937); Antoinette Withington; Hawaii! 〃。。。 Wish You Were Here。〃 (1994); Ray and Jo Miller; Hawaiian Yesterdays (1982); Ray Jerome Baker; Honolulu…Waikiki Handbook (1994); J。 D。 Bisignani; The Japanese in Hawaii: A Century of Struggle (1985); Roland Kotani; Remembering Pearl Harbor (1984); Michael Slack…man; Roaming Hawaii (1937); Harry A。 Franck; The View from Diamond Head (1986); Don Hibbard and David Franzen; Waikiki Beachboy (1989); Grady Tim…mons; and When You Go to Hawaii (1930); Townsend Griffiss。 The latter…a book I stumbled onto in a Honolulu used…book store while researching the Nathan Heller novel Damned in Paradise (1996)…was again particularly useful。
Two especially helpful references were Pearl Harbor (1969) by A。 J。 Barker; and the groundbreaking Day of Infamy (1957) by Walter Lord。 I also screened the film Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970); directed by Richard Fleischer; Toshio Masuda and Kinji Fukasuku。 Other valuable references on the attack include: At Dawn We Slept: The Untold Story of Pearl Harbor (1981); Gordon W。 Prange; The Broken Seal (1967); Ladislas Far…ago; Dec。 7 1941 (1988); Gordon W。 Prange with Donald M。 Goldstein and Katherine V。 Dillon; Infamy: Pearl Harbor and its Aftermath (1982); John Toland; Long Day's Journey into War: December 7; 1941 (1991); Stanley Weintraub; Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial (1986); Richard A。 Wisniewski; and Pearl Harbor: The Verdict of History (1986); Gordon W。 Prange with Donald M。 Goldstein and Katherine V。 Dillon。
Internet research led me to several useful articles; including 〃Alewa Teahouse One of the Last of Its Kind〃 by Rod Ohira (Honolulu Star…Bulletin); 〃The Pearl Harbor Spy〃 by Wil Deac (thehistorynet); and the wonderful overview article 〃Turning Points: One Sunday in December〃 by Edward Oxford (American History magazine); the single most important research document for my portrayal of the attack itself。
I would like to thank editor Natalee Rosenstein of Berkley Prime Crime for having the foresight to allow me to do this book sooner rather than later…and then to graciously grant me a brief but vital extension; my agent and friend; Dominick Abel; and of course my wife; Barbara Collins; who interrupted her own writing to help me survive various sneak attacks along the way。
