Warning and Decision

Book •
In 'Warning and Decision,' Roberta Wohlstetter examines the intelligence failures that led to the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

She argues that the available information was abundant but misinterpreted due to 'noise' and preconceived notions.

Wohlstetter emphasizes the importance of clear communication and critical analysis in intelligence assessment.

The book explores how organizations process information and make decisions under uncertainty.

It remains a seminal work in the field of intelligence analysis and decision-making.

The study highlights the dangers of cognitive biases and the need for rigorous evaluation of evidence.
