dc.description.abstract |
On December 7, 1941, military forces of the Empire of Japan successfully
attacked United States army and naval installations on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The
success of the surprise attack was due, in part, to the failure of American commanders in
Washington, D. C.
The Army Chief of Staff and the Chief of Naval Operations failed to ensure that
needed intelligence and diplomatic information reached their field commanders in
Hawaii. Analysis of the military command structure, communication system, and the
personalities of the chiefcommanders, General George C. Marshall and Admiral Harold
R. Stark, will provide a new insight into America's greatest military disaster.
This paper is a military assessment; political and economic aspects are used only
in relation to the military perspective. Primary sources are diaries, newspapers,
correspondence, government documents, and books written by the participants in the
events. Secondary sources provide the necessary background material relevant to the
period. |
