註釋

Library Journal: With this volume, Hillstrom (The Voting Rights Act of 1965) adds another well-written book to the publisher's "Defining Moments" series, which provides concise information on specific American historical events and divides each book into three distinct parts: narrative, biographies, and primary sources. The narrative section in this volume begins with an overview of events leading to World War II and the eventual attack on Pearl Harbor, concluding with a chapter on the legacy of the attack. The biography section includes information on people who played important roles in the attack, while the primary-sources section features such documents as the U.S. declaration of war against Japan as well as personal memories of the attack, which, although short, provide excellent firsthand accounts. The book also contains a glossary of important people, places, and terms related to the attack and a chronology of events.
