Victor's book is long on evidence and data and will give even experts in the history of the Pearl Harbor disaster much to think about - and to rethink. - America in WWII A very informative addition to recent literature.... Highly recommended. - Vice Adm. David C. Richardson, USN (Ret.), former commander of the Sixth Fleet Victor's book is long on evidence and data and will give even experts in the history of the Pearl Harbor disaster much to think about - and to rethink. - America in WWII A very informative addition to recent literature that reveals the consequences from mismanagement of intelligence information in Washington that permitted the attackers to achieve surprise. Dr. Victor provides unique information on President Roosevelt's policy formulations and implementing actions against Japan that paralleled his many initiatives to enter the war against Hitler. Highly recommended. - Vice Adm. David C. Richardson, USN (Ret.), former commander of the Sixth Fleet I came to this reading belonging to the skeptical school of thought regarding Washington's alleged prior knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Yet after reading this book, I am moved, at the very least, to strongly reconsider my previous reflexive rejection of this thesis. The Pearl Harbor Myth succeeds in putting in an accessible form the more tangible aspects of the various conspiracy theories. Instead of dwelling on extremes of speculation, it contents itself with arranging and pointing out the more undisputable evidence in a global context. In this sense, it may set the framework for future Pearl Harbor debates. - Anthony Tully, coauthor of Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway
