Скачать или смотреть The Intelligence Report That Predicted Pearl Harbor - And Was Ignored

November 27th, 1941 - Ten days before Pearl Harbor.

Colonel Rufus Bratton placed a 16-page intelligence assessment on his superior's desk. It predicted a Japanese carrier attack on Pearl Harbor with stunning accuracy: the approach route, force composition, timing, and primary targets. Everything.

The report was marked URGENT. It was never read.

This is the story of the most accurate intelligence prediction in World War II history - and how institutional failure turned perfect intelligence into meaningless paper. While Bratton's assessment sat unread in a Washington office, 2,403 Americans would die in an attack that was entirely preventable.

The tragedy of Pearl Harbor wasn't intelligence failure. It was the failure to accept intelligence that contradicted comfortable assumptions about what enemies could or would do.

Based on declassified MAGIC intercepts, official investigation records, and Bratton's actual assessment now housed in the National Archives, this is the micro-history of how America knew everything about Pearl Harbor before it happened - and chose not to believe it.
