Thanks...of course we've all heard the rumors that FDR allowed Pearl Harbor to happen because he wanted something to rile the American Sheeple to war, and I thought maybe this book about his knowing stuff he couldn't share with the public would've shed light on FDR's justifying such an action in his own mind.
I still find it hard to believe FDR would do this, but it was mighty fortunate we had no carriers docked there on 12/7/41.

If we had actually known about the Pearl Harbor attack in advance, it would have made much more strategic sense to ambush them and pull a Midway on them while they approached under radio silence. This we could have done, and crippled and vanquished much of the Japanese fleet, instead of crippling much of our fleet. IT reminds me of those who say "Bush knew about 9-11 and let it happen".
