The Emperor at first wanted to go into war as a last resort and during the delivery of the fourteenth part message, the ambassador to the United Sates for Japan, Kichikisaburo Nomura said that the war he tried to prevent may finally have arrived.The element of surprise was known by all to be vital to the success of the operation. However, in the film, we see that Mitsuo Fuchida was aggrieved at the fact the third wave would not be launched due to the uncertainty of whether the U.S. Had sufficient power to defend against the third wave and also because the element of surprise had been lost. Had the third wave been launched, the third wave’s target would have been the facilities which may have altered the war. In the bridge of the carrier flagship Akagi, we see the admirals’ reluctance to leave without the launch of the third At Pearl, on a Saturday (the day before the strike), the admiral called back everybody into their offices and a few officers had worked during the early hours of Sunday morning trying to figure out what was happening. Therefore, I would come to the conclusion that the film was trying to show that the Americans were trying to effectively make use of the information and make realistic decisions.
However, the assumption that the Americans that an attack was imminent was when the message, “HOSTILE ACTION AT ANY MOMENTIF HOSTILITIES CANNOT. REPEAT CANNOT. THE UNITED STATES DESIRES THAT JAPAN COMMIT THE FIRST OVERT ACT. THIS POLICY SHOULD NOT. BE CONSTRUED AS RESTRICTING YOU TO A COURSE OF ACTION THAT MIGHT JEOPARDISE YOUR DEFENCE” was sent out and on two occasions, the commanding officer issued out two twenty-four hour alerts. In the hour of attack, Fuchida was surprised at the lack of resistance of anti-aircraft fire which shows that they were not prepared for an attack on Pearl Harbour.
It should be further noted that Admiral Kimmel was portrayed as taken defensive measures. This meant the storing of ammunition for peace time regulations and the aircraft formation on the ground which made them sitting ducks for Japanese bombers. The film showed that the American response to the attack was ineffective except for the two pilots who managed to radio Haleiwa Field and have their fighters ready in advance. There is doubt to whether these two pilots did any significant damage like both this film and Pearl Harbour showed K. Short, 2008 & Ill mention of Agawa’s ‘The Relucatant Related Documents. Localization of Antidiabetic Potential of Cassia Tora Linn.
SeedsAbstractCassia tora Linn. Is the wild medicinal plant and grows in most parts of India as weeds. In traditional literature, it is found that seeds of Cassia tora Linn. Were used as folk medicine for the treatment of Diabetes in different parts of the world. In preliminary phytochemical investigations methanolic extract showed positive tests to sterols, carbohydrates, flavanoids, phenolic compounds, saponins and anthraquinine glycosides. Our two films were Windtalkers (2002) and Tora!
Each of these two movies were about the Americans and World War II. In Windtalkers, the main character Sergeant Joe Enders is tasked with protecting a Navaho code talker, Ben Yahzee. He is then sent into combat by the Marines to Saipan, a heavily defended Japanese island.
On the other hand, Tora! Focuses on the Japanese and American sides of the events during and leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. “Tora, Tora, Tora” focuses on the events and plans set out by the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor on Sunday, December 7th 1941. What is unique to this particular film, is that we have the ability to see these events unfold from an American and a Japanese perspective. As the Japanese inch closer to their attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States begins to intercept Japanese telegrams giving the United States access to Japan’s plans and whereabouts in the Pacific. Vice-Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander-in.
In this movie review, I will be discussing the comparisons between Tora, Tora, Tora and Das Boot. Both movies based during World War II, from the perspective of our enemies on both war fronts.

| Good cd from a great band. hard/blues/southern rock all in 1. my picks from this one are Walkin shoes, Being there, Loves a bitch. boath cd's worth getting. |
| From: dokken6008 | Date: March 17, 2002 at 5:28 |
| Really a different kind of band to have gotten signed on a label like A&M after debuting on the label with their 'Dancing With A Gypsy' tune on Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure soundtrack. At the time, glam was IT and here you have these down to earth southern blues hard rockers jamming without the ridiculous make-up and Aqua Net all over the place. That's something you can respect about a band like Tora Tora. From the cover art to the music, I pretty darn good release. Highlight track: 'Guilty' |
| From: Desslar | Date: March 26, 2002 at 12:20 |
| Good band, terrible singer. And I do mean bad. Guilty rocks though. |
| From: dokken6008 | Date: April 2, 2002 at 15:53 |
| Terrible singer? What? I can make absolutely no sense out of that statement. What, the guy's not up to par with Steelheart and doesn't hit the high notes like a girl? So, who gives a fuck? Really there is more to 'Surprise Attack' than 'Guilty' & let me say that all of the band members are good, including the vocals. Corder kicks ass and he has 1 of the more distinctive voices in the genre; I can recognise his voice in about half a second. Also check out Wild America. Terrible singer, bull-SHIT. |
| From: Desslar | Date: April 4, 2002 at 12:15 |
| Listen to that guy screech and wail on Phantom Rider. Guaranteed to make any pets in the room squirm with discomfort. |
| From: dokken6008 | Date: April 4, 2002 at 15:16 |
| You have a real bad tedency to post negative comments after each message I leave--almost like how a dog pisses over clean kitty litter. What it all comes down to is that you get bored sitting around in your little dorm room & you decide to have fun typing stupid shit up. As for Corder?Jealousy is all it is. We all wish that we could sing even half as good as him but guess what? We can't. You're jealous, I'm jealous--we're all jealous! At least I have the fucking balls to give the devil his due. |
| From: jason | Date: May 6, 2002 at 20:48 |
| HEY! would you guys cool it! Besides it doesn't matter what either of you have to say. What matters is what I think and lucky for Dokken6008 I think that Tora Tora was pretty damn good! This album is a great hard southern rocker! A PREFECT 10!! And if you want to know what bad singing is just listen to Don Dokken..Now that is horse shit! I would rather listen to a toilet flush. |
| From: Wild Kenny | Date: May 8, 2002 at 13:30 |
| An average band for an ordinary cd. Jason please! How can you compare the ordinary Cordel to the mighty Don Dokken. Dokken have influenced lots of hard rock bands with their style. C'mon Jason keep on rewiwing, you really make me laugh. |
| From: jason | Date: May 8, 2002 at 16:48 |
| Hey Wild Kenny, You sound pretty cool. Sorry if I was a little hard on Don Dokken (Not!). But if you want a really good laugh than check out the winger/pull page. Now that's a riot! |

| Hey Danny 62 (or what ever), maybe you didn't hear me! I have listened to Dokken and I'm not trying to be funny about it. Oh, and I'm a child?... That is real adult of you to put 69 as part of your name! Don't be a punk! |

| I know that we all have are own picks on what album/band we feel is underrated. This one is mine. This is a great rock album strait out of Tennessee, these boys rock! Top to bottom, every song is good. It's hard to pick a favorite song off this one. I think of it as one of those CD's that you put in and just let it play! This is one of my fav's of all time. |
| From: dokken6008 | Date: June 27, 2002 at 4:03 |
| Calling Don Dokken a bad singer is a joke. As for Corder, at first it took some time to adjust to his unique singing voice (make no bones about it, this guy ain't 'ordinary') but once I did I found him to be another great under-rated singer. Corder has great potential to advance as a singer. Tora Tora should reband (just like KIX and RATT should) again. |

| this one is of the best cd's of hard rock stuff.hard rock with high quality.corder is not my favourite but i think he sings ok.don't waste him for one mistake(i agree that 'phantom rider' comment)i'll always respect this band for their music.also i've heard that keith douglas is working in a damn factory and doesn't want to hear anything from 80's.that's his words.sad to hear him sayin' this. |
| From: | Date: August 20, 2002 at 18:01 |
| just picked up this for the second time since its release and can't figure out why i ever got rid of it - it rocks! god i miss this kinda music! ya know, the kind that took talent to write and play and wasnt all whiney 'my life sucks, i hate my dad' crap (aka Staind, Korn, Limp Bizkit, etc). yeah, i know the time for this music is over, but what a shame we've went from music that 'kills,' to the stuff out now that makes you actually want to. |

| I gave this a fuckin' 10, but I have to admit the last point was for bringing back memories. This just kicks ass from one end to the other. Even their ballads rock. A better production would have given this an 11, my only complaint being the way the guitars start off crankin' but then get pushed way back in the mix when the rest of the band comes in. Sounds like what we used to call a 'basement tape' but fuck it still kicks ass! |
| From: Baris | Date: September 10, 2002 at 5:35 |
| A strong rockin' album. Corder's voice is unique. Some problem in guitar tunes but not bothering. I have a good time while listening. |
| From: The Fizzy One | Date: September 15, 2002 at 20:41 |
| DOn't have the full album, as I was only nine when 'Walkin' Shoes' was the video all over MTV, but aI wouldn't've minded having it even then. It was just that a $2-a-week allowance could only take Young Master Fizz so far, ya know? Corder's voice .. well, it's not terrible, but it IS very nasal, I'll grant you that. |

| At the time the: Crue, Bon Jovi and Poison where being over played. Tora Tora came along with this heavy bluesy sound,like a breath of fresh air! I liked them because they were different and a well organized and talented bunch of guys. |
| From: The Fizzy One | Date: October 20, 2002 at 21:50 |
| I came, I heard, I shall speak! Got both these the other day (THANKS!) and here's how I figure this band. Midway between Great White and Tesla. Heavier than GW but less complex than Tesla sometimes got. Excleent guitars all around here. Corder's voice is like a rougher Jack Russell or a higher, more nasal Jeff Keith. Not bad at all in most places, and better on the second one. The Fizz Picks: Tracks 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9. |
| From: Rycheage | Date: February 27, 2003 at 2:54 |
| Excellent hard rock with an excellent singer. 'Lov'e A Bitch', 'Guilty', 'Walking Shoes' and 'Phantom Rider' are the best tracks. This is a 9.0/10. |
| From: softkitten | Date: June 8, 2003 at 2:11 |
| I dated Anthony a long time ago and watching them play was wonderful! He has always had a wonderful voice, and the band has been thru alot in their time...hope they are all still ok... |
| From: Gar | Date: July 16, 2003 at 19:42 |
| I'm dating Anthony now.. just kidding . I agree with the ones who didn't care for the vocals. While they're not bad, they do keep this from being a classic disc. I'd compare Tora Tora to Tesla, except Corder doesn't have the vocal range of Jeff Keith. Still, this is a worthwhile disc to get. The songs are consistantly good, as is the musicianship. Their followup 'Wild America' is slightly better. |

| ok guys..this group its great, and im acord with the people who thinks that actual music .sucks!!!! This guy sings like the first slashsnakepits vocalist.ot not? I download all this songs from mp3 imesh.. |
| From: PauloFernandes | Date: November 4, 2003 at 23:07 |
| Expected more of this one, much - and i mean MUCH weaker album than 'wild america' (which actually has a bunch of good songs) - still love the vocals though - 5/10 |
| From: rock star | Date: December 4, 2003 at 7:00 |
| ya know i have to disagree with most of you sorry. anthony the singer is so good, great range and alot of power. sebastian bach? no but still being a singer i have to give this guy props, |

| Came across this one recently in a bargain bin and it turns out to be a pretty good find. Some southern rock influence in this one. I'm not a big fan of the hit 'Walkin' Shoes', but 'Phantom Rider' is the bands best song, in my opinion. 6/10 |
| From: Geoff | Date: August 30, 2004 at 0:01 |

| Ooops it was called Surprise Attack, my mistake! Still bloody good though. I cant believe some of the comments on this one. It rocks from beginning to end and some songs are just riff city esp '28 days' and the amazing 'One for the Road' ! Also Guilty is one hell of a song...highly recommended! |

| La producción me parece excelente y el grupo aceptable, la voz no es de mi particular agrado diré por contra. 'Guilty' para mí es de lejos la mejor, grandes coros y solos!. La 1,5,7,8 y 9 aceptables. 8/10 |
| From: metalalways | Date: August 4, 2007 at 12:09 |
| this cd kicks ass it rocks from beginning to end they're glam mixed with a southern rock touch that works well love phantom rider, guilty, walkin' shoes, love's a bitch and 28 days really rock this band could've made it big but grunge had to rear it's ugly head. |
| From: BIG-TIME | Date: August 17, 2008 at 12:38 |
| For some reason I know I should like em but I don't??? They bore me..not sure why, voice ain't bad but sounds the same nearly on every song, and the songs (for me) are just not catchy enough. 'Guilty' is good but just misses the mark to be a great song, solos are great and are the only thing that keep me interested, and the Don Dokken thing..DD ain't bad but he ain't a great singer like David Coverdale, Jeff Soto, Rick Hughes, Larry Elkins and Mike Matijevic..KEEP ROCKIN ALL!!! |

| This is a must have album..still one of my faves to this day. I prefer this album over all of their others for sure. There really just is not a bad song on this one. My faves are Walkin Shoes, Guilty and Riverside Drive. These guys should have been much bigger. Chalk it up to bad promotion from the A&M label. The awesome cover doesn't hurt either. 89/100 |

| From: metalmastermusic | Date: March 1, 2012 at 7:59 |
| One of my fave albums..cranking guitars and some great vox in my opinion.One of the few albums I can spin anytime and it never gets old. |
| From: Doghouse Reilly | Date: March 1, 2012 at 11:23 |
| In his book, Life On Planet Rock, former Rip magazine editor Lonn Friend mentions going to Memphis to attend a showcase gig by a guitarist whose rich daddy wanted his boy to have a try at a major label with his 'Van Halen clone' band. He doesn't name the band, but he was obviously talking about Tora Tora, and the characterization is unfair, to my way of thinking. Yeah, Keith Douglas's guitar style is somewhat EVH-like, but much bluesier. Overall, the band comes off a bit like a less Zep-obsessed Great White (Anthony Corder's vocals in particular), with a little bit of early Tesla. This is a good disc overall, catchy tunes with ripping guitars, good production, and jcool cover art. The only weak track is 'Being There,' a lame, whiny ballad, but my favorites would be 'Love's A Bitch,' '28 Days,' 'Phantom Rider,' and lead single 'Walkin' Shoes.' Really, everything's good except for the last track, but I tend to prefer the band's second album a little better. |

| superb hair metal debut for TORA TORA ,a band that has a great groove that we 80 s hard rockers love!great musicianship ,guitars ,songs and a sound that reminds me of TESLA in general!'guilty','walking shoes','love s a bitch' and 'phantom rider' are exceptional!essential and brings back great memos of my youth! |
