I've forgotten more about war than you've ever known.
Why WWII?
Beautiful spies sleeping with high government officials, money laundering, doctored photos along with a complex British plot to involve the United States in a world war. Sounds like a B movie.[link|http://www.sunnews.com/news/1998/1217/wspyplot.htm|Sun News]
Thomas E. Mahl says it's history.
Mahl, who teaches history at Lorain County Community College in Elyria, has just published "Desperate Deception: British Covert Operations in the United States, 1939-44" (Brassey's). In it, he details a labyrinth of British counter-intelligence operations aimed at pushing this country into joining the European struggle against the Axis powers in World War II.

The book's thesis is that British and U.S. "elites" maneuvered us into WWII to serve the interests of the State. The corrupt Churchill and FDR and their respective intelligence agencies blindfolded the American public into believing that U.S. entrance into the war was justifiable on moral and political grounds.[link|http://www.karendecoster.com/blog/archives/000980.html|Karen DeCoster]
As usual, the docile masses were swept away in all the rhetoric. Every attempt was made to smear the isolationists as Hitleresque and un-American. More often than not, with such media rhetoricians as Walter Lippman, the attempts were successful. Even today, the uneducated public is convinced that the Old Right, anti-interventionist movement was Communist!

On December 7, 1941, while German armies were freezing before Moscow, Japan suddenly pushed the United States into the struggle by attacking the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Four days later Hitler declared war on the United States. President Roosevelt called on Congress for immediate and massive expansion of the armed forces. Twenty years of neglect and indifference, however, could not be overcome in a few days.[link|http://www.worldwariihistory.info/WWII/United-States.html|WWII History]
