Re: Revisionist history
History, it can be said, reflects the attitudes and beliefs of society at the time it is written. The whole theory of avoiding Pearl Habor with a pre-emptive strike seems to me to simply be another attempted justication for current world events.
However, I would ultimately reserve judgement because I haven't read the book (nor am I likely to). However the changed title of the book seems to suggest that it concerns little with actual history; more with creating book sales (18th-19th century science anyone? Reach the conclusion first and then formulate a hypothesis to fit...)
