Pearl Harbor and Teddy Roosevelt


An interesting article on the diplomatic roots of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in today's NY Times. Specifically, it examines President Teddy Roosevelt’s conduct during the Russo-Japanese War and how it influenced Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The article is written by the son of one of the men who famously raised the American flag at Iwo Jima. What do you think?
