Pearl Harbor

We're not naming any names mind you, but if you're still reeling over what passes for history in a recently released blockbuster, there's no better antidote than this two-disc History Channel boxed set. The first disc, "Tora, Tora, Tora: The True Story of Pearl Harbor," tells the whole story of that fateful December 7 morning, including the isolationism and failed negotiations that led up to the attack; then, on the second disc, "Admiral Chester Nimitz: Thunder of the Pacific," the U.S. battles back under the command of a brilliant naval strategist who helped turned the tide of the war by molding a shattered fleet into the most devastating naval power in history. A bonus program, "America's Five-Star Heroes: The Pacific Community," is included on the DVD version only. History as only the History Channel does it, this is highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (S.
