Summary: Here we go again
Comment: Well-written and an easy read.........
But just another book attempting to prove what others have tried to do before....show that the nations leaders knew about the Pearl Harbor attack and just let it happen so the US was forced to join WWII. Anyone well read on the subject will see that without a list of sources with footnotes all of the "facts" given here can't easily be traced to their source. So you have to believe what you read. I've seen all this info before elsewhere.
Ain't history great...you can write whatever you want if everyone you drag down with your "proof" is dead and gone.....well thats show-biz.
Most would agree that Kimmel and Short, especially Kimmel, got a raw deal by taking the brunt of the blame for the attack, when the leaders in Washington should have shouldered as much or more of the blame. But why can't people just accept that the Japanese completely fooled everyone and carried out a bold and successful attack??
But I guess that won't sell many books.

Summary: We finally know the background of the attack on Pearl Harbor
Comment: Ken Landis, being the lone survivor of Adm. Kimmel's staff is in a position to know what Kimmel knew and what Kimmel did not know. Ken was Kimmel's communication officer and encoded/decoded all messages to Kimmel. More than that, extensive research by Landis has recently revealed some incredible facts about what Roosevelt and Churchill knew well ahead of the attack.
This book goes beyond Pearl Harbor and delves into Naval Intelligence and how various Admirals did and did not respond to this information. Battles were won or lost on intelligence.
This book is a powerful piece of history and a must read for anyone interested in World War II and the Pacific Theater of Operations.

Summary: Ken was there!
Comment: Ken's book is a fascinating narrative from an actual eye witness to history. His book is easy to read and understand and gives a true gut feeling of what Pearl Harbor was really all about. How Ken and his staff cracked the Japanese codes to the great photos taken by the author during WW2, this is a great read.
