Series IX. World War II
|
Scope and Content Notes: Dating from 1901 to 2004, the World War II series is the most substantial in the collection. The files in this series demonstrate Donald Goldstein’s utilization of Gordon Prange’s preliminary research and unpublished manuscript drafts in the publication of numerous books and articles on World War II (1939-1945). The essence of this series is the Pacific theater of the war, especially the events surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor. To view images related to this series, researchers should refer to Series XIII: Photographs. Additional information regarding these records can be found in the subseries scope notes.

Subseries 1. Research Materials
|
Scope and Content Notes: This subseries contains the primary and secondary sources Gordon Prange and Donald Goldstein relied upon to write diverse books and articles about World War II. Originally amassed by Prange during his tenure with General Douglas MacArthur’s Historical Division in occupied Japan from 1946 to 1951, the Japanese documents contain first-hand accounts from the military commanders responsible for planning and executing the Pearl Harbor attack. They also supply an analysis by the Japanese government into the country’s failure in the Pacific War. The American documents include first-hand explanations of the Pearl Harbor attack and the American response, especially the government investigations into Pearl Harbor. The documents are further described in the following subsections: Government Documents, Interview Transcripts, Papers of Military and Political Officials, Ship Logs, and Secondary Sources.
|
Section: Government Documents
|
Scope and Content Notes: Dating from 1936-1966 this section reveals the political and military environment surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor. Of the Japanese documents, the statements of Japanese officials are especially notable. Compiled by the military intelligence section of the Far East Command during the later 1940s, these statements describe military operations in the areas of the Philippines, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Bougainville, and Formosa (Taiwan). They also detail the Japanese plans for defending the homeland and the decision to surrender.
Especially significant among the American documents is the annotated set of the Joint Committee on the Investigation of the Pearl Harbor Attack testimony, which is supplemented by correspondence, excerpts, and notes. The subject files are also significant, as they illustrate the government’s efforts to mobilize manpower and supplies for the war effort. The files are arranged alphabetically by record type.

Section: Interview Transcripts
|
Scope and Content Notes: Dating from 1946-1978, the interviews contain first-hand accounts of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the resulting Pacific War from the perspective of Japanese and American military leaders, government officials, and veterans. The interviews are arranged alphabetically by interviewee and may contain supplemental information such as correspondence, biographies, and other items related to the interviewees. Some of these materials may pre-date the interview dates.
The majority of the Japanese interviews date from 1946-1967, and were conducted by Gordon Prange during his term in Japan. The transcripts discuss the planning and execution of the Pearl Harbor attack, as well as the Pacific War, naval ministry, and military commanders. While all of the transcripts are notable, the multiple interviews with Mitsuo Fuchida, lead pilot for Pearl Harbor attack, and Minoru Genda, architect of the Pearl Harbor attack, are particularly insightful. The Fuchida transcripts detail his military career, especially his participation in Operation Hawaii and the Battle of Midway, as well as his conversion to Christianity. The Genda files elucidate the Japanese plans for the Pearl Harbor attack itself.
The American interviews, dating from 1961-1978, contain interviews conducted by Prange, as well as transcripts he gathered from archival repositories throughout the United States. The agencies of origination are referenced within the files. The interviews given by Admiral Husband Kimmel and his staff provide an insider’s perspective of the admiral and the pacific fleet before the attack. Also included here are the recollections of intelligence officers such as Lawrence Safford. Other interviews highlight the role of the Air Force, Army, and Navy in the Pacific War.

Section: Papers of Military Leaders and Government Officials
|
Scope and Content Notes: Dating from 1901-2004, this section contains the files Gordon Prange and Donald Goldstein compiled on Japanese and American World War II-era government officials, military commanders, and veterans. These personal papers focus predominately on the Pacific theater and are arranged alphabetically by individual. The files generally contain one or more of the following items: correspondence, diaries, memoranda, reports, and unpublished memoirs or manuscripts.
Amassed by Gordon Prange during his assignment with the Historical Division of the Far East Command, the Japanese files depict the personal reflections of several key military commanders. Among these is the diary of Rear Admiral Sadao Chigusa, which contains daily reports of the First Air Fleet’s progress towards Pearl Harbor and its return to Japan. Researchers may also be interested in Genda’s analysis of the Pearl Harbor operation. Most of the files contain both a Japanese and English version of the text.
The bulk of the American files contain items photocopied from U.S. archival institutions, which were later annotated by Prange and Dillon. In general, these items chronicle the individual’s role in the war. For example, the Roosevelt and Hopkins files reveal the president’s awareness of activities in Europe and the Pacific prior to and during the war. However, the correspondence between Harry Elmer Barnes, revisionist historian, Charles C. Hiles, Lieutenant Commander of naval fleets in the Far East and cryptanalyst, and Husband Kimmel, Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, concentrate on contemporary issues. More specifically, the letters between these gentlemen discuss the Pearl Harbor investigations, revisionist history, and Prange’s merits as an historian. These photocopied items are augmented by the scrapbooks of two Pittsburgh-area veterans, John Curran and Elliot Finkel, who served in the European theater of the war from 1942 to 1945. Images from these scrapbooks are located in Series XIII: Photographs, and represent the daily activities of American soldiers.

Section: God's Samurai: Lead Pilot at Pearl Harbor
|
Scope and Content Notes: Based upon a series of interviews between Gordon Prange and Mitsuo Fuchida, (located in the World War II research subseries) these manuscript materials describe Fuchida’s life from his military exploits through his missionary efforts. Initially written by Prange during the 1960s, the Fuchida biography continued to be revised during the next thirty years due to newly discovered information and publisher edits, such as the discovery of Fuchida’s love child and the removal of several chapters relating to his religious conversion. Under the editorship of Donald Goldstein and Katherine V. Dillon, the manuscript was finally published in 1990. In addition to the manuscript drafts, these records contain several reference files, which detail Fuchida’s missionary work throughout Europe and the United States during the 1950s-1960s.

Section: Target Tokyo: The Story of the Sorge Spy Ring
|
Scope and Content Notes: Originally written by Gordon Prange during the 1960s, this manuscript highlights the activities of a Russian spy, Richard Sorge, who used his connections in the German Embassy to obtain Nazi party information. A condensed version of the manuscript first appeared in Reader’s Digest in January 1967. However, Prange’s dedication to completing the “Tora, Tora, Tora” project greatly delayed the publication of the full-length manuscript. Upon Prange’s death, the manuscript was passed to Donald Goldstein and Katherine V. Dillon, who finalized the editing. In 1984 the book was published under the title Target Tokyo. Researchers wishing to know more about the Sorge spy ring should consult the reference files, several of which are in German.

Section: Tora, Tora, Tora
|
Scope and Content Notes: Virtually all of the files in this section are the work of Gordon Prange. Taken together, these files divulge his thirty-year effort to complete the four-volume Pearl Harbor manuscript, “Tora, Tora, Tora”. Although the manuscript was never published in its original four-volume form, Prange did succeed in publishing a condensed version through Reader’s Digest in 1963. More importantly, “Tora, Tora, Tora” served as the foundation for At Dawn We Slept, Pearl Harbor: Verdict of History, and December 7, 1941. Researchers interested in viewing Prange’s assessment of his Pearl Harbor work should consult the marketing correspondence file. Additional files pertain to the Twentieth Century Fox film Tora, Tora, Tora, which featured Prange as a contributor.
