This 2020 update covers new material that was uncovered after the original 2013 publication. And my companion book, The Attack on Pearl Harbor: 101 Lesser Known Facts, summarizes the significant amount of fact/background research that went into the translation of For That One Day. On December 7, 1941, Commander Fuchida plunged Japan into war with the United States when he led the attack on Pearl Harbor. His autobiography was "discovered" in 2007 in his son's basement library in New Jersey, nearly 66 years after the event that changed the world. This Imperial Japanese Navy officer was also at the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Leyte Gulf and in Hiroshima the day before and the day after the atomic bomb was dropped. Through a chance encounter in Tokyo, he converted to Christianity, and his first testimony in the US was with Billy Graham. During his travels through the US, he met ex-President Truman, President Eisenhower, and many of his former military foes--Nimitz, Halsey, Doolittle, Spruance. He tells a fascinating story of his life in war, peace and religious transformation. Daniel Martinez, Chief Historian at the Pearl Harbor National Monument, states that, "Mitsuo Fuchida is a remarkable man. " Among Pacific War enthusiasts, it is well known that there are a number of "disagreements" and "disputes" surrounding what actually happened at Pearl Harbor and Midway and, in Japan, in the days leading up to the surrender ceremony on the USS Missouri. In his autobiography, Japan's top aviator gives his perspective as an enemy and how, after total defeat and occupation of his country, he embraced America as a friend. The research effort for this book covered over 10,000 pages of related published materials and archived documents. The key points have been summarized in "The Attack on Pearl Harbor--101 Lesser Known Facts", available on Amazon. com.

Over a six-year period, my colleagues and I researched archives and interviewed people in the US and Japan. Among our findings, we uncovered a letter written by Peggy Covell in which she wrote: "The late Cpt. Fuchida tried to establish the facts of my U. S Government job, but I'm afraid he never got the facts straight. My "tsumaranai" humble, insignificant] work was only with individuals and families all American citizens] at the Granada Relocation Center in Colorado. "
