Description

John Hughes-Wilson (au). Analyzes not just the events that conspire to cause disaster, but why crucial intelligence is so often ignored, misunderstood or undervalued by politicians & seasoned generals alike. Examples include: Stalin’s Operation Barbarossa; the Gulf War of 1991; How Hitler’s own intelligence staff deliberately misled him in a bid to outfox their Nazi Party rivals; the bungling & inter-service rivalries that enabled the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, even though the U.S. was reading Japan’s most secret radio traffic; the Viet Cong’s Tet Offensive of 1968, which took the world’s most technologically advanced army by surprise; & the dramatically mistaken intelligence which left Saddam Hussein in power nearly a decade after the Gulf War of 1991.
