Yamamoto wouldn’t even try: “an American behind every blade of grass with a rifle.”
I have been trying to find a direct source of this quote. The best I have been able to find is “attributed to Yamamoto” according to a historian on MacArthur’s staff. I find that to be a indirect therefore a weak source. Anybody have a better source for the quote?
The quote has been disputed, but the objectivity of the disputers has also been disputed.
