Controversial Thesis Makes For Interesting Read Aug 07, 2008
By Michael Phelps In the introduction to "The United States of Empire" James Dunn informs the reader that he intends to show that President Roosevelt knew the Japanese attack against Pearl Harbor was coming and that he conspired to let it happen. This is a very controversial arguement that is shared by writers in the revisionist camp who do not accept the conventional view of history.
The reader can make up his own mind about Pearl Harbor and America's entry into World War Two. There is plenty of well researched material presented on other topics such as American attitudes about Europe in the years after World War One and a discussion of the Great Depression and FDR's role in inadvertently making it worse.
Mr. Dunn explains how America's involvement in World War One and World War Two against her better judgement led to a transformation from a disinterested bystander in world affairs into a global empire. Not everyone will agree with Mr. Dunn's assessments, but where ever one stands, his book is worth a read.
