There continues to be not only intense interest in these two topics from WWII, but also, unfortunately, a lot of misinformation and revisionist history, commonly spread by media with an agenda, even in the guise of an online encyclopedia. Here, you will find answers to questions such as these, that refer to the original WWII source documents and citations:*How close did the USA come to actually losing WWII?*Were there any acts of sabotage committed on American soil during WWII?*Did the Japanese ever really have a realistic plan to invade the USA in WWII?*Is it true there was never any threat to the U.S. west coast, and the evacuation was a result of racism and hysteria?*What was America's reasoning for putting Japanese-Americans in concentration camps during WWII? *Were all Japanese-Americans loyal during WWII?*Is it true that no Japanese-Americans and aliens were charged or convicted for anything disloyal in WWII?*Did Hiroshima and Nagasaki have military significance or were they purely civilian targets?*Why did the Americans drop a second nuclear bomb on Japan?The book includes lots of war-time photos from the War Relocation Authority (WRA) temporary relocation camps, showing daily life and activities for those who were evacuated from the West Coast Defense Zone in 1942.

Did U.S. intelligence know of Japan's coming attack on Pearl Harbor? Did President Roosevelt know? If so, why did he withhold warnings from the commanders in Hawaii? The answers are embedded in the cogent analysis of The Pearl Harbor Myth. Based on voluminous data that does not appear in other books on the topic, it discusses in detail Roosevelt's developing strategy-both military and diplomatic-and his secret alliances to save the world from Hitler. It contains a wealth of fresh material on secret diplomacy; on secret military strategy, planning, and intelligence; and on disguised combat operations that began six months before the Pearl Harbor attack.

Myth and the Greatest Generation calls into question the glowing paradigm of the World War II generation set up by such books as The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw. Including analysis of news reports, memoirs, novels, films and other cultural artefacts Ken Rose shows the war was much more disruptive to the lives of Americans in the military and on the home front during World War II than is generally acknowledged. Issues of racial, labor unrest, juvenile delinquency, and marital infidelity were rampant, and the black market flourished. This book delves into both personal and national issues, calling into questions the dominant view of World War II as ‘The Good War’.
