TND Podcast Spotlight: “History Counts“
The United States entry into World War II was precipitated by Japan’s December 7, 1941 attack on the United States military at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. American leaders claimed that the attack was an unprovoked surprise. Blame for failing to anticipate and prevent the attack was placed on Admiral Husband Kimmel and General Walter Short, the Pearl Harbor commanders.
In this program we take a new look at Pearl Harbor with Robert Stinnett, author of Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor. In years of researching U.S. government archives, Mr. Stinnett discovered many important documents revealing the actual state of U.S. military intelligence in the days leading up to the attack. Additionally, he discovered a US Naval intelligence memorandum – some would call it the smoking gun – which revealed the U.S. government’s secret Japanese strategy:
Mr. Stinnett served in the U.S. Navy during World War II earning ten battle stars and a Presidential Unit Citation. He has worked as a journalist and photographer for the Oakland Tribune, and he is a consultant on the Pacific War for the BBC and for Asahi and NHK Television in Japan. He is currently a Research Fellow at The Independent Institute, a non-profit public policy research organization located in Oakland, California.
First broadcast on WPKN 89.5 FM, Bridgeport, CT and WPKM 88.7 FM, Montauk, NY, on
