Beyond the Horizon
Davis Truman
Beyond the Horizon: How Intelligence Limits Led to the Pearl Harbor Failure offers a compelling analysis of one of history's most infamous intelligence failures — the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Drawing on historical evidence and cognitive science, this thesis explores the systemic issues in U.S. intelligence operations leading up to the attack, including shortcomings in collection, analysis, and management.
These failures were not solely the result of institutional flaws but were deeply rooted in human decision-making's inherent cognitive and behavioral limitations.
