Pearl Harbor and More - Stories of WWII: December 1941.
About I am an American by Robyn Hobusch Echols:
The Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and the
next day the President of the United States delivers an impassioned speech
asking for a declaration of war on Japan and Germany. For the families of two
Livingston, California, USA high school seniors, Ellen Okita, a first
generation American who lives in the Yamato Colony composed of about 100
families of Japanese descent, and Flo Kaufmann, whose father is a first
generation American in his family, the war hits home fast and brings unforeseen
changes.

Here is the forward to this anthology of stories written by authors worldwide about the events that took place in December 1941:
On December 7th 1941, a pivotal
event took place that changed the face of World War 2. Hundreds of Japanese
fighter planes carried out a devastating surprise attack on the American naval
base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. By December 11th, the United States
was at war with the Axis Powers in the Pacific and European theaters. World War
2 raged for almost another four years, but the entry of the world’s greatest
economy into the conflict profoundly influenced its course.

This wide-ranging collection of eight stories
by a diverse group of authors, who write wartime fiction, commemorates the 75th
anniversary of the Battle of Pearl Harbor. Few people’s lives were unaffected
in some way by that fateful day and these stories reflect this. Some of them
are set at Pearl Harbor itself, on the Pacific Islands or in other parts of the
United States. Other stories take place in occupied France, Germany and
Northern Ireland. They explore the experiences of U.S. servicemen and women, a
German Jew, Japanese Americans, a French countess, an Ulster Home Guard, and
many others.
We hope readers will enjoy our salute to the
people and the events of this momentous era.
