520    The December 7th, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor has been 
       portrayed by historians as a dazzling success, &
       ldquo;brilliantly conceived and meticulously planned.&
       rdquo;  With most American historians concentrating on 
       command errors and the story of participants’ 
       experiences, the Japanese attack operation has never been 
       subjected to a comprehensive critical analysis of the 
       military side of the operation.  This book presents a 
       detailed evaluation of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
       on the operational and tactical level.  It examines such 
       questions as: Was the strategy underlying the attack 
       sound? Were there flaws in planning or execution?  How did
       Japanese military culture influence the planning? How 
       risky was the attack?  What did the Japanese expect to 
       achieve, balanced against what they did achieve?  Were 
       there Japanese blunders?  What were their consequences?  
       What might have been the results if the attack had not 
       benefited from the mistakes of the American commanders?The
       book also addresses the body of folklore about the attack,
       supporting or challenging many contentious issues such as 
       the skill level of the Japanese aircrew, whether midget 
       submarines torpedoed Oklahoma and Arizona, as has been 
       recently claimed, whether the Japanese ever really 
       considered launching a third wave attack, and the 
       consequences of a “3rd wave” attack against 
       the Naval Shipyard and the fuel storage tanks if it had 
       been executed. In addition, the analysis has detected for 
       the first time a body of deceptions that a prominent 
       Japanese participant in the attack placed into the 
       historical record, most likely to conceal his blunders and
       enhance his reputation. The centerpiece of the book is an 
       analysis using modern Operations Research methods and 
       computer simulations, as well as combat models developed 
       between 1922 and 1946 at the U.S. Naval War College.  The 
       analysis puts a new light on the strategy and tactics 
       employed by Yamamoto to open the Pacific War, and a 
       dramatically different appraisal of the effectiveness of 
       the Attack on Pearl Harbor.Dr. Alan D. Zimm is a member of
       the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, 
       where he heads a section in the Aviation Systems and 
       Advanced Concepts Group.  He is a former officer in the US
       Navy, completing his service as a Commander, and holds 
       degrees in Physics, Operations Research, and Public 
       Administration with a concentration on Policy Analysis and
       Strategic Planning. [Elib]
