The author, James Bradley, whose famous father helped plant the American flag on Iwo Jima, has recently published a new book titled “Imperial Cruise” that details FDR’s 1905 diplomatic ventures in Asia and his secret treaty with Japan that actually lit the long fuse leading up to “A day that will live in infamy.” Videos and texts posted on Bradley’s site give you the drift. http://jamesbradley.com/
