Kimmel, Husband Edward, 1882-1968

Letter to a Mr. Beam with advice not to worry about the future. Newspaper clipping with biographical details and information on the Pearl Harbor attack by John G. Rogers.

Holograph note to Keith Thompson and typed copy of letter to Missouri Congressman Clarence Cannon, 3 June 1958, regarding his remarks on lack of communication and cooperation between Kimmel and General Short prior to Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Kimmel denies these allegations and asserts that he was not informed of the. Japanese ultimatum of 28 November 1941, or previous intercepted message traffic. The successful attack on Pearl Harbor was due to lack of information, not interservice rivalries.

Advanced Research Project paper examining disciplinary actions against senior military officers through the cases of ADM Kimmel and MAJ Gen Short, commanding officers at Pearl Harbor in 1941, and CAPT McVay Commanding Officer of the USS Indianpolis. This paper demonstrates that each action taken with respect to the three commanders was fully consistent with law and should be upheld to support and preserve the greater principle of civilian control of the military.
