Historic resource study USS Arizona Memorial
Slackman M. 1984. Historic resource study USS Arizona Memorial. National Park Service
This study focuses on the central events of Sunday, December 7, 1941. It opens with a brief background survey of pre-war contact and rivalry between Japan and the United States. A detailed examination of Japanese-U.S. relations is beyond our scope, but this subject is canvassed to establish the context of the national policy decisions which led to war and to the military deployments prior to the attack. It should be noted also that this study does not deal with archeological sites associated with traditional Hawaiian uses of Pearl Harbor, nor does it treat the U.S. acquisition and development of the harbor as a naval base. The study incorporates the recollections of many individual actors whose experiences are presented here as part of a full length study for the first time. This material is take for the most part from personal interviews and the holdings of oral history programs.
