The huge battleship led a fascinating life before her demise, and - as a poignant symbol of the attack that thrust the United States into World War II - has impacted millions of lives since. She lays where she sank, in the silt of Pearl Harbor, spanned now by a graceful white memorial that pays tribute to her dead. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMacKinnon Simpson's newest book, \u003ci\u003eUSS Arizona: Warship, Tomb,  Monument\u003c\/i\u003e, pays tribute to the ship, her crews, and her symbolism through the years. Packed with many rarely-before seen images, the book includes such unlikely characters as Elvis Presley, whose benefit concert helped trigger the fund-raising for the Memorial, and Henry Williams, a three-year-old boy who placed the first bolt in her keel in 1915 and read a newspaper by the light of her raging fires as a lieutenant at Pearl Harbor in 1941. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUSS Arizona: Warship, Tomb, Monument\u003c\/i\u003e tells a story that needed to be told, of why the Arizona is still so important to people from around the world who trek to visit her each year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bess Press","offers":[{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":53196043321664,"sku":"jlo1790029248192","price":12.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8535\/4304\/files\/uss-arizona-warship-tomb-monument_1.jpg?v=1790029252","url":"https:\/\/mountainpeaks.shop\/products\/uss-arizona-warship-tomb-monument","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
