There are several main topics of interest here:
(1) The US plan to provoke Japan to fire the first shot, so as to motivate an isolationist US public to join the war against Germany
(2) US intercepted Japanese Bomb Plot Grids for Pearl Harbor, but did not warn Kimmel
(3) Vacant Sea: US clears shipping out of the path of the Japanese carrier force, to prevent accidental discovery
(4) Myth of the radio silence of the Japanese carrier force
(5) US moved its aircraft carriers & modern warships away from Pearl Harbor, leaving only old ships to be sunk by the Japanese attack
Perhaps, out of dire necessity, Roosevelt had to deceive the American people in order to defeat Hitler. Perhaps the cost of several thousand lives was justified to bring down a greater evil. But why do we have to keep lying about it? Why can't our history books tell what actually happened?
If, as we're told, we live in a Decocracy, then the people, as rulers, need knowledge, not lies, to make informed judgment. Hence the importance of this book. It's the ONLY book on Pearl Harbor that makes the elite uncomfortable and attracts flak. Any pro-Nazi book would have no standing: whatever Roosevelt's sins, they were multiplied manifold in the Totalitarian regimes. But this book, moderate yet full of detail, based on archives that were opened after the Cold War and now have been partly closed again, is the one to read, to save, to publicise.
