Stinnett. The book argues that U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his administration had prior knowledge of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and deliberately allowed it to happen in order to bring the United States into World War II. Drawing on documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, Stinnett claims that American intelligence had intercepted Japanese communications and tracked the movement of the Japanese fleet before the attack. He further argues that important military leaders in Hawaii were intentionally denied critical intelligence information. The book generated major debate among historians and readers because its conclusions challenge the traditional understanding of the Pearl Harbor attack. While some readers praised the extensive research, many historians criticized the book for factual inaccuracies and disputed interpretations of historical evidence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert B.
