Title: Hitler Attacks Pearl Harbor
Description: "Richard Hill challenges a major point of conventional wisdom on U.S.-Axis relations to explain why the U.S. held Hitler responsible for the Japanese action - and why Hitler's December 11 declaration of war was inconsequential to the U.S. involvement in the European theater. Hill's carefully argued analysis reveals widespread acceptance in late 1941 that the route to Tokyo was through Berlin - that Germany was the overlord of Japan, as well as its coconspirator.

Despite emerging uncertainty about German guilt for Pearl Harbor, he shows, the prevailing public opinion in the first weeks after December 7 mandated a Germany-first strategy and continued to color U.S. policy throughout the war."--BOOK JACKET.
