Day of Deceit

The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor

By: Robert B. Stinnett

Narrated by: Rafael Ferrer

This great question of Pearl Harbor - what did we know and when did we know it? - has been argued for years. But no investigator has ever been able to prove that foreknowledge of the attack existed at the highest levels. Until now.

After decades of Freedom of Information Act requests, Robert B. Stinnett has gathered the long-hidden evidence that shatters every shibboleth of Pearl Harbor. Not only was the attack expected, it was deliberately provoked through an eight-step program devised by the Navy. Whereas previous investigators have claimed that our government did not crack Japan's military codes before December 7, 1941, Stinnett offers cable after cable of decryptions. He proves that a Japanese spy on the island transmitted information - including a map of bombing targets - beginning on August 21, and that we knew all about it.

The evidence is overwhelming. At the highest-levels - on FDR's desk - America had ample warning of the pending attack. At those same levels, it was understood that the isolationist American public would not support a declaration of war unless we were attacked first. The result was a plan to anger Japan, to keep the loyal officers responsible for Pearl Harbor in the dark, and thus to drag America into the greatest war of her existence.

Critic reviews

"Stinnett's meticulously researched book raises deeply troubling ethical issues...convincing enough to make Stinnett's bombshell of a book the subject of impassioned debate in the months to come." ( Publishers Weekly)

Amazing work of historical puzzle solving

i have read/listened to it 3 times. one of my all time favs. a must!

very very eye opening

this is a book that showed me and opened my eyes to the lies and decits that happened around that fateful day.

Precise, compelling

Meticulously researched for a clear conclusion about the coordinated corruption of our government... disappointing that author still lauded FDR and company. That's ok though, we have the facts despite great efforts to hide them.

Wow

Great book, too bad it took so long for America to know the truth! How could a president do that to his country on purpose!

Another View Of An Historic Event To Consider

I know Pearl Harbor is a touchy subject for many but this audio give one something to consider when looking back at historic events. To think that governments won't distroy their own citizens or citizens of other nations to achieve an outcome or further their own ambitions is a fools game. We get only once to go around in this human life, it is so much better to question everything, least we wake up and find that we have been thrust back into the dark ages. There is not excuse for not seeking truth in an information and especially a technological age. If we continue to not get it right we will suceed in destroying ourselves and we will accomplish that by repeating Earth's history to our regret.

Should Be Required Reading For All History Student

I would encourage you to listen and judge for yourself whether or not there is something here. In my opinion, there absolutely is something here. Take FDR's word for it, "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."

I won't go into any details about the book. If you love history and want to be told ALL the information so that you can judge, then you will love this. I listened to it in two days and would have listened in one day if I had been able to find that much free time.

It's a great piece of history, told very well by the author and narrated superbly.

stunning to hear the truth!

pretty damming evidence. for the greater good, collateral damage? happening right now with this covid fiasco.

Treason in high places

Great information. I've known of this for over 30 years now and can say I'm not surprised of the treason in high places in servant government, No different than today.

He had 2 & 1/2 choices.

I wished it was a little longer with more information. Proves our Government will do whatever it takes, to "help the nation" ??

Insightful work!

Well researched, logically laid out & in clear language to de-mystify the military jargon..... a great book!
