I recommend this book more than any in recent history...except for A PATRIOTS HISTORY...which I publicly promise to buy...(sigh)...
I followed RaceBannon's link above and was led to the following quote (under the link for Kimmel's book):
When the information available in Washington prior to the attack was disclosed to me I was appalled. Nothing in my experience of nearly forty-two years service in the Navy had prepared me for the actions of the highest officials in our government which denied this vital information to the Pearl Harbor commanders.
If those in authority wished to engage in power politics, the least that they should have done was to advise their naval and military commanders what they were endeavoring to accomplish. To utilize the Pacific Fleet and the Army forces at Pearl Harbor as a lure for a Japanese attack without advising the commander-in-chief of the fleet and the commander of the Army base at Hawaii is something I am wholly unable to comprehend.
Admiral Husband Kimmel
What do you think about the above quote, and if both you and Kimmel are correct, then where does the buck land for the deception on the US side that led to Pearl Harbor?
