Description
Intelligence and Surprise Attack Failure and Success from Pearl Harbor to 9/11 and Beyond by Erik J. Dahl offers a new perspective on why surprise attacks often succeed, despite warnings being available beforehand. The author challenges conventional wisdom about intelligence failure, arguing that the key to success lies in acquiring precise, tactical-level intelligence and decision makers willing to listen and act on warnings from their intelligence staff. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of classic cases, including Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, and the 9/11 attacks, using new information available since the publication of the 9/11 Commission Report. Dahl's examination provides insight into the complexities of intelligence gathering and decision-making, shedding light on what can be learned from past successes and failures.
