Description:
New book, 246 pages. The bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in December 1941 effectively brought the US into World War II. More than 2,000 men died in a few hours. But how had the Japanese been able to inflict such a terrible blow on the US without any preventative action being taken? Several hearings were to lay the blame on military and intelligence officers. Two minority reports, however, published in 1946, threw a different light on the whole event. They concluded that President Roosevelt himself and his closest advisers where amongst those directly responsible for what had happened.
