Frizirani Pearl Harbor
The authors investigate the controversial thesis that the US government knew about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor before December 7, 1941. They analyze documents, testimonies, and intelligence failures that indicate a possible cover-up.
"Pearl Harbor Unmasked" is a provocative exploration of one of the most controversial topics in American history. Schuler and Moore analyze a range of evidence that suggests that top U.S. officials, including President Roosevelt, may have known about the Japanese attack in advance.
The book examines in detail the failures of American intelligence, the ignoring of warnings, the unusual actions of admirals and generals in the days leading up to the attack, and the mysterious "disappearance" of key documents after December 7, 1941. The authors specifically analyze intercepted Japanese diplomatic communications that the Americans deciphered before the attack.
Schuler, a former diplomat, brings an insider's perspective on the workings of the State Department, while Moore draws on his experience as an investigative journalist. Together, they ask uncomfortable questions: Did Roosevelt deliberately allow the attack to drag an isolationist America into the war? Why weren't the aircraft carriers in port on that fateful morning?
Although controversial, the book is an important contribution to the debate about the beginning of America's involvement in World War II.
