"The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is a topic of perennial interest to the American public, and numerous books and movies have focused on the air raid and events leading up to it. This book, however, offers an entirely new perspective. Aimed at the general reader with an interest in World War II and the U.S. Navy, Resurrection looks at the massive efforts following the attack to save the ships, beginning with damage control aboard the ships that took hits on 7 December 1941 and ending in March 1944 when salvage efforts on the USS Utah were finally abandoned.
