Justified Deception

Justified Deception is by Paul Lillard. WWII is raging and it looks like the British are losing ground rapidly. FDR knows he can't get the U.S. into the war unless America is attacked. He meets with Churchill and devises a scheme to trick the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor so the U.S. can enter the war on the side of the Allies. Although this book is pure fiction, it is full of historically accurate information and characters. As the author states, "It didn't happen, but it could have." Mr. Lillard was Miss Dayna's neighbor and has recently passed away. He was a Korean war vet and hero and it was Miss D.'s honor and privilege to work with him on this book.
