About this product
Product Information
A vast array of books has been published about Pearl Harbor since World War II. This book is unique, since it was actually written by the last remaining member of Admiral Kimmel's staff as existed on December 7, 1941, plus two other Pearl Harbor survivors; one a crew member of the early warning radar, and another a crew member of the USS Pennsylvania, Admiral Kimmel's flagship. These three survivors of America's worst military disaster provide an unusual eyewitness report on how this tragic event developed. Lt. Cmdr. Landis actually served on the USS Isabel, one of the "Tethered Goats" sent out by Roosevelt to intercept the Japanese fleet and be sunk, thereby igniting World War II. St. Sgt. Rex Gunn tells how his unit actually picked up the incoming air armada by RADAR and their warning was ignored. Chief Petty Officer Lawrence McNabb, serving on the USS Pennsylvania gives a remarkable, historical background study on how Roosevelt, Churchill, and even Hitler knew of the planned raid on Pearl Harbor, long before it happened. The events leading up to America's victory at Midway, and how this ambush was orchestrated is revealed as a major intelligence breakthrough in code breaking and interpretation of radio transmission by the Japanese fleet. Perhaps the most astonishing revelation in this book is the transcript of the telephone conversation between Churchill and Roosevelt, eleven days before Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt ignored the warning from Churchill that a large Japanese Task Force was on its way to Pearl Harbor, and thus denied thousands of men to make immediate preparations to defend themselves. This book shows how an American government betrayed their Armed Forces in order to accept the first blow and rally public opinion to allow the United States' entry into World War II. The immediate outcry was "Remember Pearl Harbor" and America prepared itself for its largest and costliest World War. Much of the contents of the book will shock its readers as the little publicized events are revealed, some for the first time.
