The Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, brought to a sudden end my happy, carefree, post college years in Honolulu. I found myself on duty that morning in the laboratory of The Queens Hospital with only a Japanese aide for a helper. This book tells the story of the major changes that took place during the twenty-four years I spent in the Islands. My marriage to a naval officer engineer took us after the war to the Island of Maui, where we lived first in a rain forest and then on a sugar plantation.

Winner of the Northern California Book Award for Nonfiction "Both a serious work of history…and a marvelously readable dramatic narrative." —San Francisco Chronicle On the first Sunday in December 1941, an armada of Japanese warplanes appeared suddenly over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and devastated the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Six months later, in a sea fight north of the tiny atoll of Midway, four Japanese aircraft carriers were sent into the abyss, a blow that destroyed the offensive power of their fleet. Pacific Crucible—through a dramatic narrative relying predominantly on primary sources and eyewitness accounts of heroism and sacrifice from both navies—tells the epic tale of these first searing months of the Pacific war, when the U.S. Navy shook off the worst defeat in American military history to seize the strategic initiative.
