Henry L. Stinson quotes and words of wisdom |  | "...but if there was anything unexpected about the bombing of Pearl
Harbor, it was only that Hawaii was the target chosen for attack: "Then at
12 o"clock we (viz., General Marshall and I) went to the White House, where
we were until nearly half past one. At the meeting were Hull, Knox,
Marshall, Stark, and myself. There the President ... brought up entirely
the relations with the Japanese. He brought up the event that we were
likely to be attacked perhaps (as soon as) next Monday, for the Japanese
are notorious for making an attack without warning, and the question was
what we would do. The question was how we should maneuver them into the
position of firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to
ourselves. It was a difficult proposition."" | |  | Found in the topic Unsorted.
