According to a key memorandum, eight steps were taken to make sure we would enter the war by this means. Pearl Harbor was the only way, leading officials felt, to galvanize the reluctant American public into action:

Deceit at Pearl Harbor highlights the fact that Roosevelt allegedly knew about the attack weeks before it occurred, yet kept this information from the public as a means of swaying public opinion in favor of joining the war after the attack had taken place. As the last surviving member of Admiral Husband Kimmels then Commander of the Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor staff, LTC Landis also serves to disprove that the lack of readiness for the attack was the fault of Admiral Kimmel.

The information found in Deceit at Pearl Harbor offers the reader a firsthand look at the attack on Pearl Harbor, and reveals shocking and disturbing information, some of which has never been in the public light until now. Dealing with the attack and the subsequent victory at Midway over the Japanese, turning the tide of the War in the Pacific, and, thus, signaling the end of World War II, Deceit at Pearl Harbor is a must read for history and war buffs

The crux of your book is that your research proves that is absolutely untrue. We were reading most all of Japans radio messages. Correct?
Robert Stinnett: That is correct. And I believed that, too. You know, because, Life magazine in September 1945, right after Japan surrendered, suggested that this was the case, that Roosevelt engineered Pearl Harbor. But that was discarded as an anti-Roosevelt tract, and I believed it, also.

Disinformation: Another claim at the heart of the Pearl Harbor surprise-attack lore is that Japans ships kept radio silence as they approached Hawaii. Thats absolutely untrue, also?

Robert Stinnett: That is correct. And this was all withheld from Congress, so nobody knew about all this.
Disinformation: Until the Freedom of Information Act.
Robert Stinnett: Yes.
Disinformation: Is this statement true?--If America was intercepting and decoding Japans military messages then Washington and FDR knew that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor.
Robert Stinnett: Oh, absolutely.

Disinformation: You feel its as simple as that?
Robert Stinnett: That is right. And that was their plan. It was their "overt act of war" plan that I talk about in my book that President Roosevelt adopted on October 7, 1940.

Disinformation: You write that in late November 1941 an order was sent out to all US military commanders that stated: "The United States desires that Japan commit the first overt act." According to Secretary of War Stimson, the order came directly from President Roosevelt. Was FDRs cabinet on record for supporting this policy of provoking Japan to commit the first overt act of war?

Robert Stinnett: I dont know that he revealed it to the cabinet. He may have revealed it to Harry Hopkins, his close confidant, but theres no evidence that anybody in the cabinet knew about this.
Disinformation: I thought you wrote in your book that they did.That some of them were on record for . . .

Robert Stinnett: Well, some did. Secretary of War Stimson knew, based on his diary, and also probably Frank Knox, the Secretary of Navy knew. But Frank Knox died before the investigation started. So all we have really is Stimson, his diary. And he reveals a lot in there, and I do cite it in my book . . . You must mean his war cabinet. Yes. Stimsons diary reveals that nine people in the war cabinet--the military people--knew about the provocation policy.

Disinformation: Even though Roosevelt made contrary statements to the public, didnt he and his advisors feel that America was eventually going to have to get into the war?
Robert Stinnett: That is right. Well, his statement was, "I wont send your boys to war unless we are attacked." So then he engineered this attack---to get us into war really against Germany. But I think that was his only option. I express that in the book.

Disinformation: Who was Lieutenant Commander Arthur McCollum and what was his connection to the Pearl Harbor attack?

Robert Stinnett: He worked for Naval intelligence in Washington. He also was the communications routing officer for President Roosevelt. So all these intercepts would go to Commander McCollum and then he would route them to the President. Theres no question about that. He also was the author of this plan to provoke Japan into attacking us at Pearl Harbor. And he was born and raised in Japan.

Disinformation: McCollum wrote this plan, this memorandum, in October 1940. It was addressed to two of Roosevelts closest advisors. In the memo McCollum is expressing that its inevitable that Japan and America are going to go to war, and that Nazi Germanys going to become a threat to Americas security. McCollum is saying that Americas going to have to get into the war. But he also says that public opinion is against that.

So, McCollum then suggests eight specific things that America should do to provoke Japan to become more hostile, to attack us, so that the public would be behind a war effort. And because he was born and raised in Japan, he understood the Japanese mentality and how the Japanese would react.
Robert Stinnett: Yes. Exactly.

Disinformation: Has the existence of this memo from Commander McCollum ever been revealed to the public before your book came out?
Robert Stinnett: No, no. I received that as pursuant to my FOIA request on January 1995 from the National Archives. I had no idea it existed.
