Finding A Pearl Harbor Historian

By Marci Glover


When people are looking for help from someone who knows a lot about the Second World War, they will want to do plenty of research. By tracking down a good Pearl Harbor historian, individuals can find out all they need to know about this era in the history of a nation. If they want to write something up, they can use the new information to produce a book or article.

The credentials of the historian will be important. Most reputable individuals will have received a degree from one of the best school in the country. If they have an advanced degree, such as a PhD or a Master's, this is even better. They'll be able to provide oodles of great information that history buffs will surely eat up rather quickly.

Most people will of course want to know about the events themselves. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, it was looking to destroy the Pacific Fleet of the United States. Some of these ships were indeed sunk, but many others survived. The Japanese planes themselves came from the west, where they had been launched from aircraft carriers several hundred miles away. The death toll at Hawaii was more than the nation could bear.

Many of the wrecks are still there. The USS Arizona, in fact, has become a memorial site that is visited by people all across the world. Thousands of people fly into to take a look at the final resting place for many soldiers and sailors. The memorial itself is in the water, but it is not hard to get to. Guided tours are offered at regular intervals.

Historians can also provide a lot of information about what the survivors went through. Many of them were too wounded to continue on. Others got better and then reenlisted later on in the war. Many men and women were so patriotic that they wanted to do whatever it took to bring the country to victory. The common men of Pearl Harbor received medals that they wore for the rest of their lives.

Visiting the memorial is not hard. If people wish to travel to Hawaii, however, they should try to book their trips months in advance. This way, they can get the best possible deal on airfare. Once they see the memorial area, they will surely want to return later in life to show it to their friends and family members.

Some historians have chosen to write books and articles on the topic. By going to the local library, people should be able to find all the information they need. A variety of book stores will also contain a fair amount of information on the battle. By looking through the catalogue, people can track down the works that intrigue them.

In the end, finding a good historian is quite easy to do and not all that hard to accomplish. With the right amount of research, people can track down someone who knows all about the war. They can then find out about the experiences the sailors and soldiers had on that day in 1941.
