This book looks interesting. James Bradley researched the beginnings of the war with Japan. He claims Teddy R. was responsible. If true, this is yet another example of why we need a more transparent government and/or limit the powers of the executive. Makes me think of BO's many meetings with America's enemies and his administrations efforts to conceal their actions. With the lapdog media we have, we may never know what damage he has done until it is too late.

The Imperial Cruise: A Secret History of Empire and War

In 1905 President Teddy Roosevelt dispatched Secretary of War William Taft, his gun-toting daughter Alice and a gaggle of congressmen on a mission to Japan, the Philippines, China, and Korea. There, they would quietly forge a series of agreements that divided up Asia. At the time, Roosevelt was bully-confident about America's future on the continent. But these secret pacts lit the fuse that would-decades later-result in a number of devastating wars: WWII, the Korean War, the communist revolution in China.
One hundred years later, James Bradley retraces that epic voyage and discovers the remarkable truth about America's vast imperial past-and its world-shaking consequences. Full of fascinating characters and brilliantly told, THE IMPERIAL CRUISE will forever reshape the way we understand U.S. history http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Imperial-Cruise/James-Bradley/e/9780316008952
