Despite the official story that the attack came as a complete surprise, there appears to be a strong historical case that top US officials:
- knew of the impending attack
- had antagonized the Japanese with the idea of encouraging them to attack
- ordered the fleet at Pearl Harbor into a configuration which would be the most heavily damaged by an air attack
- kept officers at Pearl Harbor in the dark about the latest intelligence, and generally out of the loop
