Infamy Revisited: Another Look at Pearl Harbor [Paperback]

David R. Wade (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 22, 2002

"Infamy Revisited" emphasizes the devious diplomacy of the Roosevelt administration which made the Japanese "sneak" attack on Pearl Harbor all but inevitable. It places the "Day of Infamy" within the widest context of American diplomatic history from the end of the first world war to that fateful day when the Japanese Imperial Task Force struck our Pacific Fleet in Oahu.

"Infamy Revisited" summarizes revisionist investigations into the December 7, 1941 attack. It concludes that Roosevelt knew that attack was coming through Japanese radio intercepts but our commanders in Hawaii were not told because Roosevelt wanted the Japanese to fire the first shot in the war he had been planning for months.

This review is from: Infamy Revisited: Another Look at Pearl Harbor (Paperback)

At long last an intellectual and credible book on the truth about the Pearl Harbor attack.

David Wade brilliantly summarizes the latest research into the catastrophic event that led America into the second world war; a scathing indictment of the duplicity of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The author places the Pearl Harbor attack in the context of the prewar diplomacy of Roosevelt, and shows how the President knew the attack was coming. But Roosevelt deliberately kept our military commanders in Hawaii in the dark, probably a far greater act of treason than committed by Johnny Walker Lindh.

Mr. Wade artfully drew dramatic parallels between the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and the surprise attack on the World Trade Center and Pentegon, connecting December 7 with December 11.

But this book was actually two books in one. I really enjoyed the supplemental information in the back of the book about Presidential Succession.

I was amazed to learn that if there were a nuclear terror act in Washington that claimed the lives of Bush, Cheney and Hastert, then our new president would be none other than Ted Stevens of Alaska!!!
