John T. Flynn on Roosevelt and Pearl Harbor
By
John T. Flynn
1944, 1945
65 pages
$10.00
Journalist, author, and popular economic and political commentator John T. Flynn (1882-1964) supported Roosevelt during the election of 1932 as a partisan Democrat and progressive. Twenty years later he was an Old Right supporter of Robert Taft and a defender of Joe McCarthy who foresaw the coming of the Cold War and the Vietnam War. In between Flynn became disillusioned with Roosevelt and harshly criticized the New Deal. He was the chairman of the New York chapter of the America First Committee and an outspoken anti-interventionist who was forsaken by liberals for his principled stance against U.S. intervention in World War II. But Flynn also rejected the Cold War conservatism of William F. Buckley and National Review. He considered militarism a "job-making boondoggle." World War II was a repetition of World War I, a fight between empires, and all about imperialism. Reprinted here are two pamphlets Flynn privately printed after they first appeared in the Chicago Daily Tribune: The Truth About Pearl Harbor and The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor. Both point out the duplicity and culpability of Roosevelt regarding the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Also included are images of eight World War II Pearl Harbor propaganda posters that bid Americans to "Avenge Pearl Harbor" or "Remember Pearl Harbor." This reprint edition includes a foreword by Laurence M. Vance, the editor of the Classic Reprints series and the director of the Francis Wayland Institute, and is prefaced by a likeness of Flynn.
