(More customer reviews)FDR ends his message to Congress on December 8, 1941 following the Pearl Harbor attack with "I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December Seventh, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."
Thompson's excellent text reveals for newer generations the facts often forgotten about FDR's errant foreign policy toward Japan leading to the Pearl Harbor attack. The freezing of Japanese assets, promoting a world wide embargo on oil, ..., were all provocations of America. Japan decided to fight rather than surrender.
Triggered by Thompson's analysis of current historical positions, his work should raise questions about why World War II was fought in the first place and who really won?
