From: Myths of Modern History
$1.40
This chapter examines the myth surrounding that “day of infamy” when America presumably crashed into the war as a result of the Japanese “surprise attack” at Pearl Harbour. In reality, the author reveals that America’s leaders, including President Roosevelt, eagerly wanted war against Japan, but not against Germany. Germany then unexpectedly declared war against America.
