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

1973228391973. Bailey Pearl. Talking to Myself 1973 is a reflective memoir by an influential African American performer extending Black women's autobiographical writing into the domains of spirituality identity and public life in the post-Civil Rights era. The work supports research into African American cultural history celebrity authorship and the articulation of race faith and selfhood by a Black woman navigating national visibility. Bailey widely recognized for her career in music theater and television uses this text to shift from performance-centered narrative to introspective commentary addressing the psychological and moral dimensions of living within structures shaped by racial inequality and public expectation.<br /> <br /> Bailey Pearl. Talking to Myself. New York: Pocket Books 1973. Mass-market paperback edition. The text is composed in a conversational often epistolary style presenting a series of reflections rather than a linear narrative. Bailey addresses themes of aging religion emotional complexity and personal accountability incorporating aphoristic observations such as "People are not simple.they are complicated poems full of feelings they can't explain." The content includes meditations on her experiences as a Black woman in the entertainment industry her engagement with public service and her understanding of faith as both a private and social force. Unlike conventional celebrity memoirs centered on career milestones the volume prioritizes interior life and ethical questioning situating Bailey within a broader tradition of Black women writers who merge personal narrative with spiritual and social inquiry.<br /> <br /> One volume; 190 pages; mass-market format; original photographic wrappers. Published during a period of reassessment following the legislative gains of the Civil Rights Movement the book reflects ongoing negotiations of race identity and representation for Black public figures in the United States. Bailey's prominence as a performer and public representative including her later role as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations informs the text's engagement with responsibility and visibility.
