Day of Deceit - (Truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor) by Robert Stinnett (Paperback)

About the Book

This controversial book, now in paperback, brings to light devastating evidence that FDR knew of the Japanese plans to attack Pearl Harbor. Includes a new Afterword by the author.

Book Synopsis

In Day of Deceit, Robert Stinnett delivers the definitive final chapter on America's greatest secret and our worst military disaster.

Drawing on twenty years of research and access to scores of previously classified documents, Stinnett proves that Pearl Harbor was not an accident, a mere failure of American intelligence, or a brilliant Japanese military coup. By showing that ample warning of the attack was on FDR's desk and, furthermore, that a plan to push Japan into war was initiated at the highest levels of the U.S. government, he ends up profoundly altering our understanding of one of the most significant events in American history.

Review Quotes
