This is a thoroughly researched and thoughtfully composed examination of the events leading up to the United States involvement in World War II.  By using excerpts from a multitude of sources from newspaper articles to diaries, Baker has created a deeply moving work that allows the reader to re-evaluate waht he or she knows about the war, and further, about our beliefs concerning human suffering and its counterpart, human empathy.  A MUST READ!
