On 7 December 1941, Japan attacked the US naval base at Pearl
Harbor. It’s one of the most notorious surprise attacks in
history, but how much of a surprise actually was it? Did President
Franklin Roosevelt know that the attack was coming and
even encourage it as a means of propelling the US into World War
Two? In the first episode of season 2 of History’s Greatest
Conspiracy Theories, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
Steve Twomey joins Rob Attar to tackle the "back door to war"
conspiracy theory, explaining why many Americans have been willing
to believe in a president's treachery. History’s Greatest
Conspiracy Theories is produced by the team behind BBC History
Magazine. For more fascinating stories from the past, head to
