It was written in 1954. He was actually there. I highly recommend the book _Final Secret of Pearl Harbor_ by retired Admiral Robert Theobald. It was written in 1954. He was actually there.

If he did know and sent the fleet out to intercept us we would have sunk all of your ships anyway. World war 1 battle ships, cruisers, and destroyers and a couple of carriers with inferior planes were no match for the Imperial Navy. We had the best ships, the best trained pilots in the world flying the best planes, armed with the best torpedos (the long lance)the world had ever seen. If Roosevelt knew about the attack and did nothing he totally out foxed us and in so doing caused us to loose the war. If roosevelt had made any defensive move we would have known he knew the code (JN-25) and we would have changed it. As a result, the United States would have had to fought the war blind with disastrous results. Instead, you knew almost every move we were going to make in advance which led to our ultimate defeat. P.S. There would have been no Midway. Whether Roosevelt knew about the attack or not was irrelevant. If he did know and sent the fleet out to intercept us we would have sunk all of your ships anyway.
