"The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor" by Rear Admiral Robert A. Theobald, U.S. News & World Report, April 2, 1954

The article argues that key intelligence about Japanese intentions, which could have prevented the Pearl Harbor attack, was deliberately withheld from the U.S. Navy and Army commanders in Hawaii. It suggests that President Roosevelt's administration manipulated information to ensure the U.S. would be unprepared for the attack, thereby justifying America's entry into World War II. The blame was politically directed towards Admiral Kimmel and General Short, who were made scapegoats for the disaster.
