Product Description
Admiral James Richardson of the US Navy strongly disagreed about permanently docking navy ships in Pearl Harbor. He believed that the Japanese would feel threatened by the proximity of America's Pacific fleet and would launch a preemptive attack. With their exposed and isolated location, and the lack of manpower in the region, the ships would be vulnerable to any act of aggression.Richardson relayed his concerns to all who would listen and protested the decision to politicians in Washington - in response - President Franklin D. Roosevelt relieved him of his command.This fascinating volume presents a detailed exploration of his life and military career - from his humble beginnings to the military investigations of the catastrophic shortcomings at Pearl Harbor.
