review 1: I only had to get 30 pages into this book before finding out that no Republican alive to day has any REAL memory of WWII OR Pearl Harbor, as evidenced by the fact that so many of them are POSItive this president is Hitler's equivalent, without ever even knowing that Hitler forbade his people from celebrating Christmas in 1941, forbidding trees to be erected in homes and even stopping Christmas cards from being sent. Under threat of death, as I'm sure he made obvious in spirit even if he never said it in words.Well, THIS president has already said Merry Christmas to the world on Twitter; I guess that makes THEM wanton liars now, not that that's ever stopped anybody from going right ahead with the next "innocent" lie. Quotation marks for emphasizing how not-innocent I actua... morelly think they are, even if they don't have all the information. I'm sure none has read this book and heard of Hitler's Joy of canceling the Christmas of 1941 for all the German people.
review 2: This book brings an interesting perspective to the events just after Pearl Harbor in which FDR and the US begin to plan the US participation in WWII. I found the detailed accounts and weaving together of different events which were occurring in different parts of the world quite enlightening. The contrast of the US before Pearl Harbor and after in the context of Christmas and New Year's was also insightful. The book suffers from not having a clear goal nor a clear conclusion, so it reads like a montage of events without purpose. However, I still recommend this book. less
