Pearl Harbor. The Top-Secret Japanese Messages: What did President Roosevelt Know? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798576072958)

DID PRESIDENT FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT HAVE ADVANCED NOTICE OF THE JAPANESE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR? At roughly 8 am, America was thrust into World War 2. The Japanese Imperial Navy launched a massive surprise air attack on the US Pacific Fleet moored in Pearl Harbor and attacked other US military installations on the island. 353 Japanese aircraft carrier attack planes secretly launched from six Japanese carriers and swarmed the island, causing massive destruction and casualties. The aircraft attacked in two waves: both included dive bombers, torpedo bombers, and fighter escorts. The attack also involved several Japanese mini-submarines. Their mission was to enter Pearl Harbor and launch their torpedoes into the US Navy ships. The Japanese attack sank five battleships and damaged three others. They also sank a training ship and three destroyers. A heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, two seaplane tenders, two repair ships, two destroyers, and a destroyer tender were damaged. Fortunately, the Japanese primary targets, the US aircraft carriers, were at sea during the attack and not damaged. The islands Marine Corps, Navy, and Army installations suffered various levels of damage. The Japanese destroyed 188 US military aircraft across the island. US casualties quickly mounted. Those killed included or missing; US Navy 2,008, US Marine Corps 109, US Army 218, civilians 68. Those wounded included; US Navy 710, US Marine Corps 69, US Army 364, and civilians 35. The Japanese lost less than 100 men and 29 aircraft. Since the attack on Pearl Harbor, historians have pondered two profound questions, "Did President Franklin D. Roosevelt have advanced knowledge of the attack?" Records indicate he strongly suspected or knew; the United States would ultimately enter the war against Nazi Germany, Italy, and perhaps Japan. A few years earlier, Germany and Italy became allies as their military's marched across Europe and North Africa. During the same period, Japan's military invaded China. Roosevelt certainly understood the dire conditions in Europe, China and North Africa, but "Did he allow the attack on Pearl Harbor, thereby giving the US a reason to enter the war against Japan?" Those are the fundamental questions with profound consequences. This book contains all the Japanese top-secret ciphers relating to the Pearl Harbor attack. They were used by congress to investigate the attack immediately after WW2. The decoded messages have not been edited.
