Preemptive strike; the secret plan that would have prevented the attack on Pearl Harbor
Armstrong, Alan
The Lyons Press, 2006. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. In July of 1941, five months before the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt endorsed a plan for a campaign of air warfare against Japan that, if implemented, would have served to preempt Japanese aggression in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, according to this work. The plan, formulated by retired Air Corps captain Claire Lee Chenault while working for Chiang Kai-Shek, called for strengthening Chinese forces against the Japanese and operating secret American air bases in China for conducting bombing raids against the Japanese. The author describes the formulation of the plan and its fate as it wound its way through the American government, where it eventually failed, it is argued, because of domestic isolationist pressures.

Preemptive Strike: The Secret Plan That Would Have Prevented the Attack on Pearl Harbor
Armstrong, Alan
Guilford, CT: The Lyons Press, 2006. 285 pages, with illustrations. "Could a plan to bomb Japan and destroy Japanese supply lines, communications, and staging areas in China have averted the horrendous and devastating attack on Pearl Harbor? On July 23, 1941,some five months before Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt endorsed a plan calling for the United States to provide China with 150 manned bombers and 350 fighter planes to wreak havoc on Japan?s growing presence in China. ?Joint Board Plan 335? had been proposed to Roosevelt and his cabinet by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek; Dr. T. V. Soong, China's special envoy to the United States; and Captain Claire Lee Chennault, a retired Air Corps pilot now in the employ of Chiang. Such a preemptive strike on Japanese interests had been under discussion for several months. Although initially blocked by General George C. Marshall, the plan was resurrected in the spring of 1941. So why, then, was it never employed?". ISBN: 1592289134. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. Pearl Harbor World War II Pacific Theater. ( more information) Offered by Grenadier Books (United States)
