Pearl Harbor Declassified: The Evidence of American Foreknowledge of the Attack

by James M. D'Angelo

Overview

Did President Roosevelt and other high-ranking U.S. government officials know about Japanese plans to attack Pearl Harbor, and fail to warn U.S. Navy leadership? Drawing on recently declassified materials and revelations from other writers, this book traces the flow of intelligence and concludes the imminent attack was allowed to happen to win the support of the American public in a war against Japan. An epilogue describes the fate of Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, the intelligence he received from Washington before the attack, and the intelligence he did not.

Editorial Reviews

Was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor really a surprise? This well-researched book will make fair-minded readers think twice. Using highly secret information declassified in recent decades, he argues plausibly that FDR and others knew of Japanese plans.”—James A. Noone, Captain, USN (Ret.)
