Lew Rockwell’s obituary on Anthony Kubek mentioned Kubek’s How The Far East Was Lost. The first chapter of that book is an outstanding revisionist study of Pearl Harbor, stressing the influence of Harry Dexter White and other Soviet sympathizers in promoting an aggressively anti-Japanese policy. Stephen Johnsson, a very capable historian who unfortunately never published his major study of Communist-Nazi relations, did much of the research for the chapter.
