Interview 51: Pearl Harbor with Mark Stille

Overview

Naval historian Mark Stille joins to discuss his new book Pearl Harbor: Japan’s Greatest Disaster. We dig into why the attack seemed inevitable yet avoidable, how Japanese planners balanced risk and surprise, and what American intelligence and readiness looked like on the eve of war. Stille also explains how the operational choices on December 7 set Japan on a strategic path it could not sustain.
