Gordon Prange also wrote At Dawn We Slept, the definitive history of the Pearl Harbor attack and on which the movie Tora! Tora! Tora! was based.
It would be remiss of me not to mention also that he was a U of Maryland history professor from 1937 to 1980, except for a 9 year break when he served on MacArthur's staff, which gave him access to a number of Japanese military officers, inside information that distinguished his books from others on the topic.
I read "At Dawn We Slept" as well. These comments prompted me to go upstairs to the "library" and start looking through all the books I have on shelves. May have to re-read some of the histories.
