Summary of Robert B. Stinnett's Day of Deceit

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Murrow was a CBS radio newsman who had just returned from a meeting with President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the White House. He had heard the first news flashes about the Pearl Harbor raid. He and his wife, Janet, went to the White House for dinner.

#2 Roosevelt asked Murrow and Donovan whether they thought the attack was a clear case of a first Japanese move that would unite Americans behind a declaration of war against the Axis powers. They said yes, and Roosevelt decided to ask Congress to declare that a state of war existed between Japan and the United States.

#3 The question of whether or not FDR knew about the attack at Pearl Harbor is still up in the air, but there are many more direct pieces of evidence that prove he did. The United States had not cracked Japanese military codes prior to the attack, and the Japanese fleet maintained strict radio silence.
