"What happened at Pearl Harbour?" by Harry Elmer Barnes, Peace News, December 7, 1962
The article takes a revisionist perspective and argues that the American government had prior knowledge of the impending Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor but chose not to warn the commanders because President Roosevelt wanted an excuse to enter World War II. Barnes claims that Roosevelt intentionally withheld information to provoke the attack and subsequently managed to conceal this strategy.
