History

Military

Americans have long debated the cause of the December 7, 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor. Many have argued that the attack was a brilliant Japanese military coup, or a failure of U.S. intelligence agencies, or even a conspiracy of the Roosevelt administration. But despite the attention historians have paid to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the truth about that fateful day has remained a mysteryuntil now. In Operation Snow: How a Soviet Mole in FDR’s White House Triggered Pearl Harbor, author John Koster uses recently declassified evidence and never-before-translated documents to tell the real story of the day that FDR memorably declared would live in infamy, forever. Operation Snow shows how Joseph Stalin and the KGB used a vast network of double-agents and communist sympathizersmost notably, Harry Dexter Whiteto lead Japan into war against the United States, demonstrating incontestable Soviet involvement behind the bombing of Pearl Harbor. A thrilling tale of espionage, mystery and war, Operation Snow will forever change the way we think about Pearl Harbor and World War II.

This is the story of Left Hand, a Hunkpapa Sioux, who served General George Armstrong Custer as a guide, scout, and messenger during the campaign that ended at Custer’s Last Stand. Left Hand, was given an honored funeral by the warriors who fought Custer. Government records and primary sources document Left Hand’s service as a scout and warrior, but the reasons behind this service remain a mystery. Left Hand was a member of the sub-tribe of the Sioux Nation known as the Hunkpapa Lakota, part of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Through conversations with his friend John Eagle Shield (a relative of Sitting Bull and Medical Director of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe), his own knowledge of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and a rudimentary understanding of Lakota language and customs, the author was able to piece together what happened. Some questions remain, but the fact that Left Hand joined the U.S. Army, honorably served out his full enlistment, rejoined his own people just before the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and died defending the Sioux and Cheyenne from Custer is recorded by the Hunkpapa Lakota at Standing Rock.
