About This Item
New York: Prentice Hall Press, 1991. 449 pages. Light soiling around page edges. Illustrated. From the dust jacket: "...In this fast-paced narrative, Robert Smith Thompson argues cogently that the Roosesvelt Administration was neither isolationist nor neutral, as it claimed, and that the attack on Pearl Harbor was Japan's preemptive response to American provocations...Thompson presents evidence that after 1937, the Roosevelt administration covertly assisted China in its was against Japan; that early in 1941, America, Britain, and Canada signed what amounted to a secret treaty committing the United States to offensive action against the Axis no later than early 1942; that on three separate occasions in 1941 F.D.R. told prominent British officials, including Churchill, that he intended to provoke the Axis powers into war; that the U.S. government was secretly preparing to firebomb Japanese cities, and that Japanese intelligence knew it; and that Roosevelt probably did have advance knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor...Thompson weaves a startling and provocative theory to explain how F.D.R. in order to overcoome domestic opposition to his vision of a world under U.S. leadership, manipulated, evaded the law, risked impeachment, and finally provoked the Pearl Harbor attack.". 1st Ed, 1st Printing. Hard Cover. Good to Very Good/Very Good. . Roosevelt--WWII Warmongering.
