About this book

Scapegoats: A Defense of Kimmel and Short at Pearl Harbor by Edward L. Beach Jr.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781557500595.

The author presents proof that authorities in the Army, Navy, and State Departments, as well as the White House, knew through special intelligence that Japan was planning an attack on December 7th, and blames these agencies for not informing field commanders. He argues that the official findings against Kimmel and Short failed to take into account shortages in aircraft and anti-aircraft ordnance that made the attack inevitable. Includes b&w photos.
