Ένα ντοκιμαντέρ του BBC με άρωμα πολιτικού θρίλερ αποκαλύπτει όλα τα γεγονότα που οδήγησαν στην επίθεση στο Περλ Χάρμπορ και την επακόλουθη είσοδο των Αμερικανών στον Β’ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο. Στην προσπάθεια να αποδοθούν ευθύνες για τον αιφνιδιασμό των Αμερικανών ενόψει της επίθεσης του ιαπωνικού αυτοκρατορικού στρατού, ο επικεφαλής του στόλου στη βάση του Περλ Χάρμπορ έγινε το εξιλαστήριο θύμα της υπόθεσης. Σήμερα όμως υπάρχουν ακόμη αμφιβολίες για το πραγματικό μέγεθος των ευθυνών του και για τη μεταχείριση που είχε από την αμερικανική στρατιωτική δικαιοσύνη.

Conspiracy theories concerning prior knowledge about what propelled the US into the war started almost at once: Roosevelt and Churchill allegedly knew in advance - both realized that only drastic action could involve the Americans.
Even seventy-five years on from the attack on Pearl Harbor, questions remained about how the world's most powerful nation was caught by surprise. This Secret History documentary from 2016 reveals new insight into what Washington knew before the attack, and whether Churchill and Roosevelt conspired to allow it to happen. Within the space of two hours, the devastating assault by Japanese forces left nearly 2500 people dead and 19 ships destroyed or damaged. An investigation ordered by President Roosevelt found Admiral Husband Kimmel, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet, guilty of dereliction of duty. With his career in ruins, Kimmel became a broken man. But was he really to blame? Now, new research reveals what Washington knew prior to the attack and uncovers a crucial dossier that could have prevented it.
