5.0 out of 5 stars shining the light of truth on the dark side of politics, October 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Tragic Deception: FDR and America's Involvement in World War II (Hardcover)

Being a baby boomer and raised on 'rewritten' history (aka the media version), this short text opened my eyes to the realities of America's involvement in WWII. The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor shocked the citizenry and brought America together in a patriotic frenzy similar to the horrific events of 9/11. In the case of Pearl Harbor however, FDR *asked for it* it by giving Japan an ultimatum in late November, 1941. On the morning of 6 December, the response was received and the executives in the White House sat anxiously awaiting the attack *without* warning the leaders stationed in Hawaii. Why was this done? The book explains it.

Getting into the war is not the only thing this book explores but the concept of FDR's plans for post-war Europe will chill any proud American to the core. This is where Hiss and his buddies did their best work. If it were up to FDR, France would be under communist rule today. No wonder the French are wary and bitter!

Thanks to Ann Coulter, I was motivated to learn more about the era that created the Venona Project and to find this book. As Coulter recently dispelled the myth of 'McCarthyism', this book dispells the myth of the innocence of FDR's administration before, during and after WWII. I am ashamed America was fooled at the time but moreso that there are still people in positions of power and influence intent on perpetuating so many myths. I anticipate future textbooks will have the index entry: 'Starrism'. It is sad that a quest for truth in the realms of the government results in the vilification of good men.

The memory of Hamilton Fish deserves our respect and gratitude for publishing the truth. It is unfortunate that we have to look so hard for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truth survives, January 5, 2004

By 

Francis "Kita" (Japan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tragic Deception: FDR and America's Involvement in World War II (Hardcover)

For a Japanese, who always feels sad and embarrassed whenever hearing American politicians still quote "Remember Pearl Harbor" as the phrase to unite people, this book is really eye-opening.

In this book, Mr. Hamilton Fish provides readers with the real and unfortunately-little-known account of what was going on behind the closed door of the FDR's White House during the last days leading up to the Japan-American War.

At the dawn on the 7th December in 1941, American people were sound asleep, soon to be awakened by the attack on Pearl Harbor. Since then, America has come a long way, fighting for freedom and democracy around the globe, having revolutionized herself from being a big isolationist power to the only Super Power that has survived every war she fought.

That's the foreground of history; this book provides you with the hidden-background and the rest of the story, making you wonder whether America was really awakened in the true sense of the word.

This book also makes readers wonder what kind of democracy American people have--assuming that, as indicated in the book, many of whom still remain under the spell of the war-time propaganda of FDR government--even if America has succeeded making the rest of the world the better and safer place for democracy.

Mr. Hamilton Fish says to the effect:people have to know the truth;otherwise America can no longer be the government of the people, by the people and for the people.

However, my impression after reading this book is : America can continue to be the government of the people and by the people, and to be the center of world conscience as far as American conscience symbolized by Mr. Hamilton Fish's--a desire to let truth speak if it hurts--remains alive and people remain ready to face the truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars FDR needed to get into the fight to protect Communism, December 24, 2005

By

This review is from: Tragic Deception: FDR and America's Involvement in World War II (Hardcover)

Pearl Harbor was the ticket FDR needed to get into WWII.
The goal was to protect Stalin and Communism. Why didn't
America go on to fight the Communists at the end of WWII?
Why was General George S. Patton Jr. treated so poorly
when he spoke of defeating the mongoloid Russians? Why did FDR manage to ramrod 10 goals of the Communist Manefestio through Congress in his nearly 16 yrs? The answer is FDR was a Communist. FDR saved Stalin and Mao from defeat and cost this country dearly in the years after WWII. To this day the press in America is under Communist control. They were behind FDR because he was one of them! The New York Times never reported the Stalin created famine in the Ukraine in the 1930s. They won't cover the truth in Iraq today! Today Americans face the threat of a Communist Supreme Court confiscating private property. The FDR legacy must be reversed!!!
