INFAMY: PEARL HARBOR AND ITS AFTERMATH
Book ID/图书代码: 02330007B18437
English Summary/英文概要: “East Wind, Rain…”
It was the Japanese code that meant war – and the U.S. had broken it. Yet, on December 7, 1941 – the day that will live forever in infamy – the U.S. armed forces at Pearl Harbor were caught entirely by surprise. Or were they?
Now, John Toland, one of America’s most respected historians, has written a shocking and revealing account of the events surrounding Pearl Harbor. Toland has uncovered evidence that FDR and his top advisors knew about the planned Japanese attack but remained silent so that the U.S. would be drawn into the war. Even more shocking was the conspiracy afterwards to cover up the fact and find scapegoats for the greatest disaster in U.S. military history.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在这部书中,托兰提出:罗斯福、马歇尔等人根据破译的日本密码,至少在珍珠港事件爆发前五天就已知晓日本联合舰队正向珍珠港方面运动,美国情报部也已判断出日本舰队此行的目标就是珍珠港。但罗斯福为了打破美国内的孤立主义情绪,加之情报判断失误,有意让珍珠港遭受打击,最终使得几千名美国官兵死于日军飞机的狂轰滥炸之下。此书出版后,在美国内引起了轩然大波,知识界对该书的评价近乎尖刻。(RH)
