A Soviet Mole In FDR’s White House?
Exclusive: Jim Fletcher reviews thrilling spy expose, ‘Operation Snow’
WND
One of the enduring mysteries of December 7, 1941, is … who knew the attack was coming down?
For years, speculation has been rampant that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about the impending attack. Dark conspiracies swirled.
Now comes a startling new book by John Koster, “Operation Snow: How a Soviet Mole in FDR’s White House Triggered Pearl Harbor.”
Koster used declassified and never-before-translated-to-English documents to show that Harry Dexter White had been recruited by the Russians to foment war for America (there was real fear that if the U.S. did not come into the fight, among other things, the Soviet Union would fall to the Germans and Japanese).
Although the events happened, Koster weaves a tale that reads like a fast-paced espionage thriller: “Pavlov slid into a phone booth in Washington, D.C., and shut the door. He inserted coins into the unfamiliar telephone, heard the clink and jangle, and dialed. The phone started to ring. He said later that he felt time had stopped. Someone picked up at the other end.
