"The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor" by John T. Flynn, September 1945

Flynn asserts that the true responsibility for the Pearl Harbor attack lies primarily with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, rather than the military commanders who were officially blamed. Flynn argues that Roosevelt's decisions to keep the fleet in Pearl Harbor and to strip its defenses, along with his desire to provoke Japan into attacking, were major blunders that led to the disaster.
