Description

Pearl Harbor Warning and Decision by Roberta Wohlstetter is a thought-provoking analysis of one of history's most significant failures. The author argues that the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was not an extraordinary event, but rather a result of a remarkably ordinary blunder - a failure to anticipate effectively in a cold war crisis. Wohlstetter examines how this failure occurred and why it remains relevant today. She highlights the dangers of a narrow focus on familiar threats and the importance of considering a wider range of contingencies. This book provides valuable insights into the complexities of government decision-making and the consequences of poor planning. By studying Pearl Harbor, Wohlstetter sheds light on the challenges of anticipating and responding to unexpected events in international relations. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of diplomacy and national security.
