"A fast-paced debut...Espionage buffs will savor this vibrant account." — Publishers Weekly

A U.S. naval counterintelligence officer working to safeguard Pearl Harbor; a Japanese spy ordered to Hawaii to gather information on the American fleet. On December 7, 1941, their hidden stories are exposed by a morning of bloodshed that would change the world forever. Scrutinizing long-buried historical documents, NCIS star Mark Harmon and co-author Leon Carroll, a former NCIS Special Agent, have brought forth a true-life NCIS story of deception, discovery, and danger.

Hawaii, 1941. War clouds with Japan are gathering and the islands of Hawaii have become battlegrounds of spies, intelligence agents, and military officials - with the island's residents caught between them. Toiling in the shadows are Douglas Wada, the only Japanese American agent in naval intelligence, and Takeo Yoshikawa, a Japanese spy sent to Pearl Harbor to gather information on the U.S. fleet.

Douglas Wada's experiences in his native Honolulu include posing undercover as a newspaper reporter, translating wiretaps on the Japanese Consulate, and interrogating America's first captured POW of World War II, a submarine officer found on the beach. Takeo Yoshikawa is a Japanese spy operating as a junior diplomat with the consulate who is collecting vital information that goes straight to Admiral Yamamoto. Their dueling stories anchor Ghosts of Honolulu's gripping depiction of the world-changing cat and mouse games played between Japanese and US military intelligence agents (and a mercenary Nazi) in Hawaii before the outbreak of the second world war.

Also caught in the upheaval are Honolulu's innocent residents - including Douglas Wada's father - who endure the war's anti-Japanese fervor and a cadre of intelligence professionals who must prevent Hawaii from adopting the same destructive mass internments as California.

Ghosts of Honolulu depicts the incredible high stakes game of naval intelligence and the need to define what is real and what only appears to be real.

Very interesting piece of history. Told a lot about the beginning of NCIS and about the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Really enjoyed the true account of these individuals during WW2. Very factual, now I am interested in more information on the people and places mentioned in the book.

Excellent

An excellent historical review of the environment, people and activities around the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor. A very insightful yet depressing revelation of human and political actions that related some very shameful and destructive actions of the US Government.

An excellent historical review of the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor.

I enjoyed the new-to-me information, but like others commented, I had a hard time with the narration. Mr. Harmon is a good actor, but whatever happened here, it wasn't good. I decided that maybe my reading speed got messed up, but it didn't matter how I adjusted it it just did come out well. I would have been better off reading the hard copy.

I liked new insights into what happened on the island.

Although the Japanese Consulate spy is generally well known, the activities of the nisei in Honolulu have been less documented. Regarding the spy, Yoshikawa, and his accomplices Kuhn and Kotoshiroda, the result was complete failure. Yoshikawa escaped under diplomatic cover then avoided punishment in Japan. Kuhn was deported to Argentina (with other nazis?) and traitor Kotoshiroda became a pillar of the nisei community in Honolulu. The best nugget of information was the mention of Kuhn’s 17 year old daughter as Goebbel’s mistress. The whole family got exiled as far away from Germany as possible to protect Goebbels.

I went to school with many Japanese Americans but they did not share with non Japanese. Too soon? WWII seemed l8ke ancient history to someone born post-war. It wasn't. I am grateful for this personalized history.

I just didnt know this history.

I slugged through this but it didn’t flow well at all. The short chapters make it hard to follow. There’s too much information that doesn’t need to be included. It reads more like a textbook and doesn’t paint a picture of what’s going on.

Choppy
