This book explains how the failure of intelligence in five important battles in World War II had decisive results. It helps Americans to persuade that so long as there is any danger of future wars, the United States must have a strong intelligence service.
This book describes the role of the failure in gathering and analyzing intelligence behind Barbarossa (German attack on Russia), Pearl Harbor, the 1942 Allied landing at Dieppe, France, the "Market Garden" assault on Arnhem ("A Bridge Too Far"), and the Battle of the Bulge.
