Answer 1

A. The author is very effective, because he explains the events that led up to pearl harbor and examines how the event affected world politics.

Answer 2

You might be talking about Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Infamy speech, given just after the pre-emptive attack on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines by the Empire of Japan. The short speech emphasizes on how Japan attacked the United States without first declaring war, and then declaring that the United States is ready to act and do measures for defense.
