Thompson, Robert Smith A Time for War. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Path to Pearl Harbor.
New York Prentice-Hall 1991 0136533388 / 9780136533382 First Edition Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Xiv, 449 pages, 6 plates, cloth, DJ, very good. From Publishers Weekly: "The author of this intriguing study maintains that the traditional view that America entered WW II in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor is misguided. Thompson argues instead that the U. S. Was engaged in a naval war with Germany and an economic war with Japan well before December 7, 1941, and that American support for the Chinese, Lend-Lease aid to Britain and the July '41 oil embargo against Japan were calculated incitements that forced the two Axis powers into war with America. According to Thompson, the Roosevelt administration, far from neutral or isolationist, was increasingly dominated by a coalition of interventionists who wished to establish a new world order under United States leadership. This book is the clearest exposition so far of the revisionist theory of U. S. Provocation of Germany and Japan. " EDG_31 ; 449 pages

THOMPSON, ROBERT SMITH Pledge to Destiny: Charles de Gaulle and the Rise of the Free French
New York Mcgraw- Hill Book Co. , 1974 0070643903 / 9780070643901 Hard Cover Very Good in Fair dust jacket
xiv,282 pages, 10 plates, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. From the publisher: In June 1940 Hitler posed before the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. By June 1942, with the battle of the hopelessly outnumbered Free French against Rommel at Bir Hakeim in Libya, the turning point for France had come. Charles de Gaulle had made the leap from obscurity to fame, won the grudging respect of the Allies, and forged a nation-in-exile. The kaleidoscopic history of those fateful two years is told herein with breath-taking suspense, as event spins on event and the ordinary and heroic participants spring to life: amateurs who created a brilliant intelligence network; military men who acquired legendary names on the burning sands of Africa; defeatist politicians and their determined opponents, black Africans who defied both Vichy and the Germans.

THOMPSON, ROBERT SMITH The Missiles of October: The Declassified Story of John F. Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis
New York Simon & Schuster 1992 0671871765 / 9780671871765 Soft Cover Very Good
395 pages, 4 plates, pictorial wrappers, very good. From the publisher: Using recently declassified documents, Robert Smith Thompson re-examines the U.S., Soviet and Cuban posturing that led to the confrontation and presents evidence for a provocative new view of the crisis that penetrates to the very heart of our illusions about the Cold War and the Kennedy mystique. Thompson reveals that the Kennedy administration knew about the missiles in Cuba by March 1962, long before the official warning. Moreover, Kennedy appears to have been planning a full-scale invasion of Cuba, scheduled for late 1962, a plan that he abandoned only when the potential cost in American lives became clear.
