Foreword This is an attempt to examine the evidence bearing on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in order to establish responsibility for that disaster. It Ia not a brid for Admiral Kim.mel or General Short, both of whom are unknown to,the author. Nor have I had any communication with either. It fre. quently happens that what ia looked upon u a pr~ found secret liea open to the . eye of any atudent who has the patience to examine with care the neWspapen, the public reports and the testimoniea of Interested persona which appear in boob and magazine.. Bits of information meaningless in themselves when broug~t together serve to make a complete picture. Tbia is all 1 have done. I have read the newspapers day by day ' since before the Atlantic meeting of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill. I have read with care the official reports of Japanese-American relations published in three large volumes by the governmenL I have studied the Report of the Roberts Commission. I havP read numerous magazine articles and boob auch u Ambassador Grew'• 'Ten Years in Japan, Col. Allison lnd'a Bataan, the Judgment Seal and many others. In this material is to be found all the evidence necessary to make clear to the reader why Pearl Harbor and the Philippine. were so helpless when the Japanese appeared over them on Dec. 7 and 8, 1941, and who wu responsible for iL JoHN T . FLYNN. New York City, October 17, 1944.
