Pearl Harbor Extra traces the moments before, during, and immediately after the Japanese attack of December 7, 1941 through the newspapers that first told the story to the American public. Presented as a day-by-day press chronicle, the book reproduces front pages, headlines and reportage that convey the shock, outrage and rapid political shift that propelled the United States into World War II—including published declarations of war from both governments and contemporaneous military photographs from American and Japanese papers—offering readers a primary-source window onto how a nation learned it had been drawn into global conflict.
Designed as a primary-source compilation and pictorial documentary, this volume reproduces facsimile newspaper pages with original layouts, large headlines and the photographs as they appeared in 1941, making it useful for history enthusiasts, educators and collectors. Presented in a popular/gift-book format and compiled by Eric Caren, the book emphasizes media history—press coverage, front-page journalism and wartime imagery—preserving the visual and textual immediacy of the day of infamy for modern readers.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
