I have read that book,twice in fact and for those of us who may be interested, gordon prange wasnt really the author,he didnt even really write it,because it was accumulated by his co-workers from various manuscripts,who then arranged them into book form that was published in 1981,after gordons death in 1980...

Yes. I know. Proof of such perfidious actions would have been impossible to hide, considering all the research that has gone on concerning not only the attack itself, but the months, even years prior.
If this isn't the most researched event stemming from WWII, it's certainly in the top two.
I did suggest that Blocula read 'At Dawn We Slept' by Gordon Prange, which is an immense piece of research. I don't think he read it.

and so like it or not,those who were actually responsible for that book,could have easily been made or paid to follow pre-arranged agendas,editing out certain damning truths and editing in certain half truths and blatant lies,resulting in a book that strictly adheres to and follows along with currently enforced historical belief structures...
the power tripping psychops of the war mongering american government and its sabre rattling military high command,the domination and control of their intentionally misleading,nationalistic one way points of view,their force fed into the collective patriotic psyche of the gullible mainstream public,their warped and twisted versions of our drifting further and further into the past history...

ur claims that he had an agenda I find to be... foolish.

And the Japanese ambassadors delivered a message of war just minutes before the attack. So to suggest that FDR, and his generals & admirals, contrived to get us into this war is a wee bit too fantastic for my belief system. Nice try though.
The Japanese tried to uphold the conventions of war while still achieving surprise, but the attack began before the notice could be delivered. Tokyo transmitted the 5,000-word notification (commonly called the "14-Part Message") in two blocks to the Japanese Embassy in Washington, but transcribing the message took too long for the Japanese ambassador to deliver it in time. (In fact, U.S. code breakers had already deciphered and translated most of the message hours before he was scheduled to deliver it.)

That pretty much puts the kibosh on the theory.
We might think to ask that...

I spoke with a Pearl Harbor survivor one day. The most interesting thing he said was that for days prior to the attack the military was on high alert for a Japanese attack...I'd always thought it was supposed to be a surprise attack but after looking into the situation, the Americans did suspect an attack - but they thought it was going to be from Japanese living on the island...not an overt military attack.

My no longer with us grandfather volunteered for service during world war 2,when he actually didnt have to go,because he was married with young children still at home and was working for the war effort at the time, welding at the fore river naval shipyard in quincy,mass. for $2.50 cents an hour...
But far away he was sent and far away he willlingly went and he joined the many others who fought the nazis across france and into germany and was wounded in combat...
And even he told me that wars have to be intentionally started,because theres too many mouths to feed and much money to be made...
Pretty cool huh?...very disheartening and utterly sickening indeed...
