Pearl Harbor Declassified by James Dangelo
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.
“Was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor really a surprise? This well-researched book will make fair-minded readers think twiceUsing highly secret information declassified in recent decades, he argues plausibly that FDR and others knew of Japanese plans.”—James A. Noone, Captain, USN (Ret.)
“Dr. James D’Angelo studied both sides of the Pearl Harbor surprise attack controversy and has considered the major arguments and evidence from many sources. This book is important because during the last thirty years new evidence has emerged. The release of declassified records previously held close at secret and higher levels of classification in the National Archives and records centers of the United States and the United Kingdom has focused new light on the old surprise attack theory. What Dr. D’Angelo has done here is, in his own words, ‘to connect the dots’ so that the readers can decide for themselves where the truth stands.”—William S. Dudley, Ph.D., former Director of Naval History.
