The movie " Pearl Harbor " is being shown in town and it's quite popular. Also a book dealing with a sneak attack was published in the U.S. recently. Is there a trend looking back in that period in the U.S. ? . . . This book [ Shig: The true story of an American kamikaze, A memoir by Shigeo Imamura] might not be as popular as the movie, but I sincerely hope many people will read it.
