MANUFACTURING THE PEARL HARBOR ATTACK: AN INTERVIEW WITH THOMAS KIMMEL
Journalist Joshua Blakeney interviewed Thomas Kimmel, grandson of Admiral Husband E. Kimmel in this episode of The Real Deal. Admiral Husband E. Kimmel was the Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Fleet on December 7, 1941 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in retaliation to the constricting economic sanctions and aggressive ultimata of the pro-Soviet government in Washington. Thomas Kimmel argued in the show that his grandfather was unjustly blamed for the US having succumbed to the Japanese attack. Blakeney and Kimmel explored the thesis that members of the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt had deliberately allowed the attack to occur to drag America into unpopular wars with the anti-Communist Axis Powers. Relevant links include:
