"The Lessons of Pearl Harbor" by Samuel Eliot Morison, The Saturday Evening Post

This article covers events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, the reasons behind the Japanese decision to attack, and the allocation of responsibility for the surprise attack. It emphasizes that the failure was not due to individual incompetence but rather systemic issues in Washington and Pearl Harbor, with a lack of comprehensive intelligence sharing and coordination.
