Did he deserve the tarnished reputation that followed him to his death in May 1968? In A Matter of Honor: Pearl Harbor: Betrayal, Blame, and a Family\u2019s Quest for Justice, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan present a powerful argument in the late Admiral&#8217;s defense. Through the sensitive examination of voluminous evidence, Summers and Swan prove that Husband Kimmel was not guilty of dereliction of duty, but rather did the best he could with the limited resources available in the Territory of Hawaii to prepare for war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> This book condenses the vast constellation of source material related to December 7th into a single, manageable volume that reconsiders the harshness of history&#8217;s previous verdict. Now that three-quarters of a century have passed since the Japanese attack that destroyed Husband Kimmel&#8217;s career, the time is ripe for a streamlined, muscular, and objective reexamination of the subject such as the one found in A Matter of Honor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1514\" src=\"http:\/\/www.worldwarmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/A-MAtter-of-Honor-cover-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldwarmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/A-MAtter-of-Honor-cover-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.worldwarmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/A-MAtter-of-Honor-cover.jpg 331w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/p>\n[read more=&#8221;Click here to Read More&#8221; less=&#8221;Read Less&#8221;]\n <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\">A Matter of Honor:Pearl Harbor: Betrayal, Blame, and a Family&#8217;s Quest for Justice by Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the seventy-fifth anniversary, the authors of Pulitzer Prize finalist The Eleventh Day unravel the mysteries of Pearl Harbor to expose the scapegoating of the admiral who was in command the day 2,000 Americans died, report on the continuing struggle to restore his lost honor\u2014and clear President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the charge that he knew the attack was coming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Japanese onslaught on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 devastated Americans and precipitated entry into World War II. In the aftermath, Admiral Husband Kimmel, Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, was relieved of command, accused of negligence and dereliction of duty\u2014publicly disgraced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But the Admiral defended his actions through eight investigations and for the rest of his long life. The evidence against him was less than solid. High military and political officials had failed to provide Kimmel and his Army counterpart with vital intelligence. Later, to hide the biggest U.S. intelligence secret of the day, they covered it up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Following the Admiral\u2019s death, his sons\u2014both Navy veterans\u2014fought on to clear his name. Now that they in turn are dead, Kimmel\u2019s grandsons continue the struggle. For them, 2016 is a pivotal year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With unprecedented access to documents, diaries and letters, and the family\u2019s cooperation, Summers\u2019 and Swan\u2019s search for the truth has taken them far beyond the Kimmel story\u2014to explore claims of duplicity and betrayal in high places in Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A Matter of Honor is a provocative story of politics and war, of a man willing to sacrifice himself for his country only to be sacrificed himself. Revelatory and definitive, it is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of this pivotal event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The book includes forty black-and-white photos throughout the text.<\/span>[\/read]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 7, 1941 fatally wounded the reputation and legacy of Admiral Husband E.
