Pearl by Stirling Silliphant
PEARL HARBOR, DECEMBER 1941:
LOVE AND LAUGHTER IN FOOL'S PARADISE
In a world poised on the brink of war, the Hawaiian island of Oahu was still the perfect paradise. And in this lush and tranquil Pacific haven everyone clung to the illusion that their spectacular island could never be touched by the death and destruction of Hirohito's military machine.
But, as the men and women of Pearl would soon discover, their cherished sanctuary was all too vulnerable to the violent winds of war; and their own tumultuous lives mirrored the impending disaster.
In one savage moment, the placid sky was alive with the thunder of guns. All dreams and innocence were suddenly shattered.
And in the wake of disaster they kept their hope and passion for some far tomorrow - when the world could look back and remember...
