Summary
Det turkosa vattnet ligger blankt när solen går upp på en röd morgonhimmel. Hawaiis öar börjar vakna till liv, och aktiviteten på den amerikanska flottbasen Pearl Harbor börjar sakteligen komma igång.
På sekunder förändras den fridfulla paradisön till en krigszon. Det är den 7 december 1941 och japanska plan flyger in lågt över militärbasen. Med dem faller kriget ner från skyn. Det otänkbara har hänt, USA har blivit attackerade på hemmaplan av en fientlig makt.
Emery "Swede" Lundquist vaknar av ljudet av kulsprutor. Svenskamerikanen är stationerad på ett krigsfartyg som ligger förankrat i Pearl Harbor. Han är där när stora dela av USA:s stillahavsflotta sänks till botten. Under det krig som följer blir han ögonvittne till de allra största stridsinsaterna mot Japan i Stilla havet. De flesta av hans kamrater dödas men Swede överlever.
Det här är hans berättelse.
Thomas Tynander är en svensk journalist och författare. Hans hyllade verk skildrar nutidshistoriska händelser och människoöden på ett gripande sätt.
