“We face the delicate question of the diplomatic fencing to be done so as to be sure Japan is put in the wrong and makes the first bad move — overt move…The question was how we should maneuver them into the position of firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves.”
(
Henry Stimson
,
Infamy: Pearl Harbor and its Aftermath
, p. 275-76. October 16, 1941.)
