In 1954, Robert A. Theobald, Commander of Destroyers at Pearl Harbor wrote a book entitled The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor in which he states it was Roosevelt that incited war with Japan. Robert Stinnet, a naval officer found an what is now known as the McCollum Memorandum, that is supposed to have an eight point plan for Roosevelt to bring Japan to attack the U.S. so we could then enter the war. The memo is alleged to begin with the following sentence, “The United States desires that Japan commit the first act.” When asked about Roosevelt’s reaction to the attack on Pearl Harbor, his administrative assistant, Jonathan Daniels gave the reply: “The blow was heavier then he necessarily hoped it would be…But the risk paid off; it was worth the price…” These seem to be strong words for a man who knew nothing beforehand.
