Leaf between pp 241 and 294 reads: "Chapter V of this report as well as the conclusions based there which related to Colonel Wyman have been omitted in accordance with the statement of the Secretary of War dated August 29 1945." Toning and mild soiling to wrappers rear wrapper detached but present; contents clean and sound. Advance issue of the first report on how the disaster at Pearl Harbor unfolded and why the United States was caught unprepared. The members of the Board were General George Grunert Major Henry D. Russell Major Walter H. Frank Colonel Charles W. West Colonel Harry A. Toulmin and Major Henry C. Clausen. They were appointed to "ascertain and report facts relating to the attack made by Japanese Armed Forces upon the territory of Hawaii on 7 December 1941" and much of the evidence they gathered is presented here. Among their conclusions: The attack on Pearl Harbor "was daring well-conceived and well-executed and caught the defending forces practically unprepared to meet it or to minimize its destructiveness." The extent of the disaster was due to the failure of the Commanding General of the Hawaiian Department to alert his command for war and to the War Department for failing to keep him apprised of developments in U.S.-Japanese negotiations. The report also names serveral individuals in positions of authority and details their errors and failures most of which relate to inadequate communication to subordinates resulting in a failure to act and lack of preparedness. unknown

Pearl S. Buck won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932. In 1938 she became the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for her rich and truly epic descriptions of peasant life in China and for her biographical masterpieces. This is the 13th printing of her amazing autobiography that contrasts her life growing up in China with life in the United States. Kirkus Review: A memoir from the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. "Not only Buck's most important book but—on many counts—her best book" Often regarded as one of Pearl S. Buck's most significant works My Several Worlds is the memoir of a major novelist and one of the key American chroniclers of China. Buck who was born to missionary parents in 1892 spent much of the first portion of her life in China experiencing the Boxer Rebellion first hand and becoming involved with the society with an intimacy available to few outside observers. The book is not only an important reflection on that nation's modern history but also an account of her re-engagement with America and the intense activity that characterized her life there from her prolific novel-writing to her loves and friendships to her work for abandoned children and other humanitarian causes. As alive with incident as it is illuminating in its philosophy My Several Worlds is essential reading for travelers and readers alike.
