A Matter of Honor: Pearl Harbor: Betrayal, Blame, and a Family's Quest for Justice Paperback - 2016
by Anthony Summers; Robbyn Swan
From the rear cover
We think we know the story well: In the devastating aftermath of Pearl Harbor, Admiral Husband Kimmel, commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet, was relieved of command, accused of dereliction of duty, and publicly disgraced.
The truth, though, was that the top brass in Washington had failed to provide Kimmel with vital intelligence. Then, in the name of protecting the biggest U.S intelligence secret of the day, they and top officials made the Admiral and the Army commander in Hawaii scapegoats for the catastrophe.
In this conversation-changing book, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan not only tell Kimmel's story, they unravel the many apparent mysteries of Pearl Harbor, clear President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the charge that he knew the attack was coming, and uncover duplicity and betrayal in high places in Washington.
Both houses of Congress have voted for the posthumous restoration of the Admiral's four-star rank. No President, however, has taken action to complete the process. A Matter of Honor is a heartbreaking human story of politics and war--and epic history.
