Politics aside, Newt Gingrich and Wm. Forstchen have written several EXCELLENT series on our country's historical past.
Their Pearl Harbor series is a GREAT read for anyone who loves history and wants to see how control of OIL has shaped our wars around the world for the last 200 years.
I loved the first book as a set up for the second one and the only item that was inconstant with my knowledge of Oahu in the second book, was the characters being able to drive so freely through the streets after the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7th. I suspect this was more difficult than they expressed.
I lived in Hawaii in the mid-70s through mid-80s and know that communication with the mainland then was difficult even then so communication with the DC government in the 1940s was horrendous.
Great reads!
