End of the Beginning (Pearl Harbor)
by Harry Turtledove
End Of The Beginning
The alternate history master and author of Days of Infamy brings his Pearl
Harbor epic to a dramatic conclusion.
In this alternate history of World War II, the Japanese follow up their Pearl
Harbor attack with the successful occupation of Hawaii, and America is
marshalling its military forces-from east coast to west-to reclaim the islands
from the enemy.
Personal Review: End of the Beginning (Pearl Harbor) by Harry
Turtledove
Excellent conclusion to his "what if" of Hawaii invaded after Pearl Harbor
sneak attack

I am a big Turtledove fan, having read just about every book he has
published, and this sequel is another jewel in his writing crown. I found
myself turning each page in anticipation of what would happen next. The
same characters that you loved from "Days of Infamy" are back and each
takes a different road to a perhaps inevitable conclusion.
Yes, Turtledove does tend to repeat himself at times. A perfect example
being Joe Crosetti's repeated discussions of the landing process on a
carrier and his intentions to "obey the wigwag flag man no matter what",
but it is a small price to pay for what reads as a great examination of
Americas attempt to re-capture the lost Hawaiian islands after the
Japanese invaded after attacking Pearl Harbor.
The ending is somewhat predictable and if you do not see the outcome for
Jiro ( the Elder Japanese Fisherman) coming from a mile away you should
not call yourself a history buff. Overall, a great book that kept my interest
and really showed a more detailed glimpse of the characters from the first
book.
A must get book!
