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 co-conspirator. Despite emerging uncertainty about German guilt for Pearl Harbor, he concludes, 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.
"This book should change the way that people think, write, and teach about the U.S. declaration of war against Germany. It offers a fresh interpretation that is well-researched, carefully argued, and convincing."—Michael Neiberg, United States Air Force Academy
