Uncovering the Mystery of FDR and Pearl Harbor: The Story Behind the Day of Deceit

Thomas Kerkhoven: Josef Stalin is not even in the index of this book. FDR's primary purpose was saving uncle Joe. A white house rife with Stalin's men and FDR could n't care less. Book strikes me as CIA propaganda.

Jean-paul Lacharme: Le travail de R.B. Sinnett, vétéran de la guerre du Pacifique, publiée en 2000 s’inscrit dans le cadre des théories de la connaissance anticipée de l’attaque japonaise. Évidemment, il ne peut en aucun cas être reconnu par la pensée officielle. Il s’articule sur un certain nombre de points, à savoir : face à une opinion publique largement isolationniste, Roosevelt était au contraire très interventionniste. Son problème était donc de faire basculer habilement cette opinion publique. Faute d’agir directement contre l’Allemagne, agir contre le Japon était sans doute plus facile. Mais il fallait faire en sorte que l’agresseur apparaisse sans contestation comme celui qui frappe le premier sans aucune circonstance atténuante. La première étape fut donc la mise en place d’une guerre économique (qui n’a pas besoin d’être déclarée). L’ennemi est mis sous embargo, étranglé au niveau de ses approvisionnement énergétiques, soumis à des provocations militaires tout en menant simultanément des négociations fictives. C’est ce qu’on voit actuellement avec l’Iran. L’ennemi, asphyxié, est poussé à réagir. C’est ce qu’il va...

FC: Reflecting a tremendous amount of work digging out original communications documents, previously classified and made available under FOIA, although over a half century later many still remain secret, the author shows that FDR and his minions did maneuver to provoke Japan into an attack against the US and also ordered the Pearl Harbor commanders into passivity as bait to amplify the carnage and enrage Americans. The author makes a strong well documented case. To think otherwise is to deny the authenticity of the declassified documents.

The US had been monitoring, decoding, and translating Japanese diplomatic and military communications since the early 1920s and by 1941 had twenty-two listening stations arranged around the Pacific Ocean including RDF as well as several different decrypting centers, one of which, HYPO, was located on Oahu itself. FDR was reading secret Japanese messages daily, almost as rapidly as their intended recipients, for over a year before Pearl Harbor and right up until Dec 7 and beyond!

Japan had been marauding through east Asia for years and had been planning for an eventual war with the USA for decades. Surprise attacks were their forte ever...

Clement Finn: Mr. Stinnett has done an admirable job of assembling his evidence. Those who are swayed by the negative reviewers here should read the following rebuttal from Mr. Stinnett:

"Two questions about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor have ignited a controversy that has burned for 60 years: Did U.S. naval cryptographers crack the Japanese naval codes before the attack? Did Japanese warships and their commanding admirals break radio silence at sea before the attack?

If the answer to both is "no," then Pearl Harbor was indeed a surprise attack described by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as a "Day of Infamy." The integrity of the U.S. government regarding Pearl Harbor remains solid.

But if the answer is "yes," then hundreds of books, articles, movies, and TV documentaries based on the "no" answer-and the integrity of the federal government-go down the drain. If the Japanese naval codes were intercepted, decoded, and translated into English by U.S. naval cryptographers prior to Pearl Harbor, then the Japanese naval attacks on American Pacific military bases were known in advance among the highest levels of the American government.

During the 60 years, the...
