This is truly one of the last great World War II stories to be shared with future generations and is told by the sailor and Arizona Crew Member Lauren Bruner  who shares his story raw and full of laughter and tears.  At 97  Lauren tells the story of his first true love with a beautiful Japanese bartender named Nikki on the night before the attack only to have the enemy pull her from his grip  never to be seen again.  According to those who have read this book  it is a gripping thriller and unlike any other battlefield account  as it allows the reader to step back in time and stand next to a young man fighting for his life minute by minute as those around him perish.  This book has everything good storytelling is all about: lost love  adventure  death  and the desire to live as well as an underlying need to fulfill a personal promise to honor the man who saved his life  which was finally accomplished 76 years later.  This signed interactive copy of Second to the Last to Leave includes online access to over 100 personal photos of life aboard USS Arizona  through the attack on Pearl Harbor  and on into the rest of the war. In addition  the most complete Deck Log of USS Arizona is also included as a bonus to the readers.  One of the 5 remaining crew members  Lou Conter probably sums up the book best when he describes it as the \"best and most thrilling account of what really took place aboard Arizona on the morning of 7 December  1941\" and he recommends Laurens book as the best he has ever read.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529521061941,"sku":"ByrdShop_0692787208","price":249.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780692787205.jpg?v=1780936433","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/second-to-the-last-to-leave-uss-arizona-signed-edition-interactive-edition-9780692787205","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
