It was a miracle three years in the making, a testimony to American fortitude and ingenuityand perhaps the key to why the United States won a war that after Pearl Harbor seemed hopeless.
Impeccably researched, Avenging Pearl Harbor is colorfully written, personal, chilling, visceral.
Historian Keith Warren Lloyd brings his gift for injecting life and personalities and heretofore untold stories of the men and women involved-members of what became known as The Greatest Generationwhose heroism and sacrifice brought about the miraculous new life of a sleeping military force that was reeling and on its knees.
It is a story has never before been told in such detail and with such vibrancy.
On the night of 24 October 1944, a force of two battleships, one heavy cruiser and four destroyers from the Imperial Japanese Navy steamed into Surigao Strait in the Philippines. Their objective: to attack the invasion fleet of General Douglas MacArthurs army in Leyte Gulf. Alerted by scouting PT boats, the U.S. 7th Fleet under the command of Rear Admiral Jesse Oldendorf prepared a deadly trap. Waiting for the enemy force were six American battleships and supporting cruisers and destroyers. Oldendorf performed the classic naval maneuver of crossing the T which allowed the American ships to fire broadsides at the oncoming Japanese vessels, while the enemy could only fire with their forward turrets. When the smoke cleared, the Japanese fleet had been all but annihilated.
Among the victorious American battleships were the Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, California, and Tennessee, five of the eight dreadnoughts that had been bombed at Pearl Harbor.
The five ships had been raised, repaired, modified, and re-manned. After three long years, they finally had their revenge.
Avenging Pearl Harbor takes readers from the attack on Pearl Harbor, telling the story of the severe damage dealt to each ship and the incredible acts of courage performed by the sailors of each crew that morning. It continues with how each ship was raised and repairedHerculean in scope and the mustering of new commanders, officers and crewmen.
The final drama unfolds as of each ship returns triumphantly to the battle fleet, and the ultimate triumph at the battle of Surigao Strait.

A S ALWAYS , I AM INDEBTED TO THE TALENTED WRITER AND EDITOR Tom McCarthy for his continued advocacy and inspiration; without him I would still be an unpublished dreamer. I would like to thank Melissa Baker for the magnificent and timely work she did in creating the maps shown in the book. My close friend and aficionado of naval technology, Lee Barnes, served as a sounding board for ideas and was a great source of information, advice, and support.
I am very thankful for the ninety-five-year-old veteran of the USS Maryland, John Henry Ashby, his remarkable memory, and his daughter, Kimberly Thorn, who put us in touch.
I would be remiss if I did not also thank my wife Kathleen, who on a daily basis continues to offer her encouragement and exercise the tremendous patience that being married to an author requires.
