Second Saturday: Pearl Harbor and the Kimmel Controversy

PEARL HARBOR AND THE KIMMEL CONTROVERSY: Revisiting Questions of Accountability On December 7, 1999, the Naval Historical Foundation hosted a colloquium at the U.S. Navy Memorial to discuss the question of accountability for the tragic losses suffered 58 years prior. Join us as we revisit this issue ahead of the 80th anniversary of the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. This webinar will feature an introduction from former Naval Flight Officer Ward Carroll, after which former General Counsel of the Navy Steven S. Honigman will provide an overview of the numerous investigations and subsequent efforts to exonerate the Pacific Fleet commander at the time—Admiral Husband E. Kimmel. Former colloquium presenters David Alan Rosenberg, and Randy Papadopoulos will return as panelists to offer their commentary and respond to your questions about that fateful day in American history. 00:00 Preshow 10:28 Program Begins
