Greetings,

We're looking for fiction that includes the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
as a major plot component. So far Herman Wouk is the only idea that comes
to mind. Suggestions, anyone?

thanks,

I'm not entirely sure if this meets your criteria (as in it being a major
plot component) but From Here to Eternity by James Jones comes to mind.

How about Till the End of Time by Allen Appel? This is a time travel story: Alex Balfour teaches history and sometimes finds himself in the thick of an historical event. In this book he is transported back to Hawaii in 1941 and must decide if given the opportunity to prevent the bombing of Pearl Harbor, should he?

A young adult title that was a wonderful read was UNDER THE BLOOD RED SUN by Graham
Salisbury. Adults would also enjoy it. Its the story of a japanese family living in
Hawaii at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack.

Wasn't his first From Here to Eternity? Didn't he also do The Thin Red Line?
I don't think he was all that prolific.
