      Similar to the Choose Your Own Adventure books I grew up with, this is an interactive, non-fiction account of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Readers can choose to see the attack from various points of view including, nurses, Japanese pilots and military men stationed on Pearl Harbor. While it doesn't read from page to page, if the reader chooses to re-read they will get an indepth account of the attack from different sides. The illustrations and graphics add nicely to the experience.
    • 4/5
      Allison Lassieur's The Attack on Pearl Harbor is a nonfiction work focused on the perspectives of various individuals involved in the Japanese attack on Hawaii in December of 1941- the day that will live that will live in infamy. Lassieur allows readers to relive this history by providing readers the opportunity to make decisions on how they would have reacted to the events of the attack. On the one hand, this form of organization does not allow or require the reader to gauge the full scope of characters and choices. On the other hand, readers who chose to reread the book can enjoy a new experience each time. The scope of characters ranges from a Japanese fighter pilot, a U.S. Navy sailor, and a Navy nurse. Each character gives a point of view which enriches this history. As readers choose a particular character to relive, the book guides provide easy instructions which direct the chosen narrative. What I enjoy about this work is its usefulness in the classroom. The unique narrative provides for instilling greater understanding through perspective building and differentiation in learner activities. Another one of the greatest strengths is the resources included which expand deeper into the content of World War II and the Pearl Harbor attacks. The inclusion of biography, addition readings, other exploratory topics, and internet resources aids in expanding content while the glossary allows readers to become familiar with unique military language. Overall, this would be a great introductory book to the events of the Pearl Harbor attacks for various history courses.

    ABOUT YOUR ADVENTURE

    YOU are living in the early 1940s. Much of the world is at war. The United States hopes to stay out of it. But Americans keep a close eye on events in Europe and Japan. When efforts to keep the peace fail, whose side will you choose?

    In this book, you’ll explore how the choices people made meant the difference between life and death. The events you’ll experience happened to real people.

    Chapter One sets the scene. Then you choose which path to read. Follow the links at the bottom of each page as you read the stories. The decisions you make will change your outcome. After you finish one path, go back and read the others for new perspectives and more adventures. Use your device's back buttons or page navigation to jump back to your last choice.

    YOU CHOOSE the path you take through history.

    CHAPTER 1

    A World at War

    It is November 1941, and the world is at war. The fighting started in the 1930s, as powerful leaders dreamed of expanding their empires. Now, the leaders of Japan, Italy, and Germany have signed an agreement to help each other reach their goals. Together, these countries are called the Axis powers.

    Most of the world is focused on fighting in Europe. In 1939, German ruler Adolf Hitler invaded Poland. Since then, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, and France have fallen to Germany.

    Leaders from Japan, Italy, and Germany signed an agreement to help each other in war.

    But before there was war in Europe, there was war in Asia. In Japan, military leaders want more land and more natural resources. In 1931, they took control of the Chinese region of Manchuria. In 1937, they attacked China. Now they occupy most of eastern China. Japanese leaders talk of bringing all of Asia under their control.

    Meanwhile, the United States hopes to avoid fighting. Instead of soldiers, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt sends money to Great Britain. He cuts off trade with Japan.

    By early December 1941, the situation is desperate. War is coming. You just don’t know when or where.

    Then, on the morning of December 7, 1941, something happens that will change the course of the war. And you find yourself right in the middle of it.

    CHAPTER 2

    Master of the Attack

    As an officer in the Japanese Navy, you are one of the few who know about a top secret plan. For a few years, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto and other leaders have been planning to attack the United States.

    Yamamoto believes that only the United States has the power to stop Japan’s expansion. But Japan lacks the resources to win a long, drawn-out war with America. A sudden, swift attack could destroy the U.S. naval fleet. While it recovered, America would be unable to join the war. Meanwhile, Japan could expand as it wants.

    Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto planned the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
