Abstract
The paper discusses one of the most controversial books about Pearl Harbor and the beginning of World War II. This book is Robert Stinnett's "Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor". This book is considered particularly controversial because it makes the case not only for the argument that FDR knew the attack was coming, but also for the argument that FDR actually may have been involved in provoking the attack as a means to get America into the war.

From the Paper
"There have been literally thousands of books written about World War II. While some of these books cover the entire war, the bulk actually address various aspects, elements or important parts of the war, e.g. the impact of the war on Asia, Normandy, the bombing of Dresden and so forth. However, of all the books that discuss specific aspects of the war, those that are most significant are the ones that provide reasons for why America entered the war, these are books about..."

Abstract
In this paper, major impact that National Geographic's reporting of Pearl Harbor also projects is directly related to the unity that the common soldier feels after surviving the Japanese squadron's surprise bombing. The stories tell of the humanity of the soldiers, which created a legacy for them and their families when they tell what they experience through a personal narrative.

Abstract
This paper examines how the Pearl Harbor speech of Franklin Roosevelt fit with policies pursued against Japan and whether the actions taken brought a stisfactory resolution or created more problems for the United States.

From the Paper
"President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's speech before Congress to formally request a declaration of war against the Empire of Japan pursuant to Article I of the Constitution, marked the culmination of years of political maneuvering in American politics, exacerbated by years of watching Japan flout international conventions and treaties made with the United States and Japan, as well as by the growing war of conquest undertaken by the Axis countries, Germany, Japan and Italy. The speech was America's first response to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. It demonstrated..."

Abstract
The paper argues that Prange's theory about the lack of involvement of the president and his top generals is circumstantial and illogical in relation to preventing the attacks on Pearl Harbor. The paper asserts that Roosevelt was seriously delinquent in not providing his military with the information to prepare for an attack, which was a major leadership problem that went down through the ranks of the United States government. The paper looks at how Prange scapegoats Kimmel and Short, but everyone involved (especially the president and his generals) should have immediately relayed the information of Japan's withdrawal from American embassies.

Abstract
This paper historically describes the bombing of Pearl Harbor during World War II by Japan. The paper does so through the personal reflection of a soldier at the time of the attack in 1941 and with tribute to his great dedication and bravery for defending the United States

From the Paper
"The tragic day at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 left the American people in a furious, yet fearful state. An unwarranted action of attack was thrown upon us as Japan invaded one of our islands and murdered our citizens. It was people such as my grandfather, Aubrey Hunter, that were willing to take up arms and enlist themselves in the military to help stop Japan from advancing in their murderous ways. It took strength, a great amount of courage, personal sacrifice, and the willingness to potentially give their lives for the cause. It were these attributes from men, such as my grandfather, and women that allowed our U.S. military to build itself up again and revenge the deaths of everyone who died at Pearl Harbor."

Abstract
This paper looks at the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. It discusses what the attack involved, its lead up and whether or not Roosevelt knew about it. The paper presents evidence suggesting that Roosevelt did know about it and failed to warn the people in Hawaii as he wanted an excuse for America to enter WWII.

From the Paper
"The Japanese bombed the naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, an act which angered American citizens and led to their support of America joining World War II. The Japanese forces were led by Vice-Admiral Nagumo and were able to get within kilometers ..."

Abstract
The paper highlights the entwined American reactions to the September 11 attacks and the Pearl Harbor attacks. The paper illustrates the similarities in which the over-prevailing backgrounds of each event created reactions to the devastating measures that promptly gave escalation to the wars that have been fought. The paper also looks at the integration of the memory of Pearl Harbor in American reactions to September 11 attacks. Subsequently, the paper reflects on the similarities in repercussions of the attacks on the Pearl Harbor, as well as the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11.

From the Paper
"The attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor and the attacks by Al Qaeda on September 11 had many similarities. Some of these similarities have been presented in this paper. However, several more situations of contrasts are likely amid the attack on Pearl Harbor and the attack on September 11. In the Second World War, at Pearl Harbor, the American military under President Roosevelt had blocked approximately 8 percent of the Japanese force from either fulfilling its vicious objectives or retreating back to Japan. During the attacks on the September 11, airplane travelers prevented 25 percent of the Al Qaeda force from fulfilling its evil designs, avoiding an American icon from stern harm or complete obliteration. American intelligence agencies gave out a warning for war prior to the attack on the Pearl Harbor in the Second World War, and the American military had been able to counter the opponent. However, on September 11, intelligence agencies did report of likely terrorization attempts by Al Qaeda terrorist but these reports had not been converted into a forceful caution under President Bush, and the American military had been unsuccessful in getting in the way of the suicidal operation of Al Qaeda."

Abstract
This paper explains how Franklin Roosevelt used the US fleet at Pearl Harbor to lure the Japanese away from attacking the Soviet Union and creating a second front against the Soviets which would have made it impossible for them to defend against Nazi Germany.

From the paper:

"After sixty years, the attack on Pearl Harbor still raises serious debate. Despite the common image of an insidious Japanese assault launched against the unwitting American Navy, there is evidence, as presented in class that the infamy of Pearl Harbor actually began long before December 7, 1941. This evidence suggests that Franklin Roosevelt set Pearl Harbor up as a target and enticed the Japanese to attack there."

Abstract
The writer looks at how Paul Stillwell in his book, "Air Raid: Pearl Harbor! Recollections of a Day of Infamy", tells the story of the attack on Pearl Harbor through the voices of the men who lived it. The writer provides examples of the diverse accounts presented by Stillwell that create a comprehensive version of what happened at Pearl Harbor. In the writer's opinion, this book is not only an interesting read that puts the attack on Pearl Harbor in context, it is also an invaluable resource for future historians who want to study the events of that day.

From the Paper
"On December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack on the American Pacific Fleet at the Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Oahu, Hawaii. The attack was a strategic move by the Japanese military to eliminate the American force in the Pacific before they invaded Malaya and the Dutch East Indies. On the surface, the mission was a complete success. The Japanese force destroyed five American Naval battleships, three destroyers, 188 aircraft as well as 2,333 servicemen. For their part, the Japanese only lost twenty-nine aircraft and sixty-five servicemen. However, this attack prompted the United States to enter the war and eventually defeat Japan after dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

Abstract
This paper discusses the attack on the U.S navy fleet in Pearl harbor, by the Japanese in 1941. The paper begins by describing the geography of Pearl harbor and how it came into the possession of the United States. The paper then goes on to discuss the relationship between the U.S. and Japan during World War II and what lead up to the attack at Pearl harbor. The paper concludes with the results of some of the investigations into the attack, as well as the immediate responses by world leaders at the time.

From the Paper
" Later after the attack, investigators discovered that the first contact with the Japanese forces, wasn't made through the air, but took place on the sea. On 7 December, more then an hour before any enemy planes were sighted, an American patrol bomber and the destroyer Ward attacked and sank an unidentified submarine in the restricted waters close to the entrance to Pearl Harbor. The vessel was one of one of the five submarines which were sent to break the Pacific Fleet's fort. The Japanese attack, didn't gave the Americans much time to evaluate the significance of the submarine sighting. The first group of planes was already on its way to Oahu, before The Ward fired the first charge. The Japanese carrier force launched the first group at 6:00 a.m., when the ships were approximately 200 miles north of Pearl Harbor. A second strike group took off at 7:15 a.m. when the carriers had reached a position 30 miles closer to the American base. Although the radar set on the island picked up the approaching planes in time to give warning, the report of the sighting was believed an error and disregarded, and the Japanese fighters and bombers appeared unannounced over their objectives."
