HONAN, WILLIAM H.: VISIONS OF IMFAMY. The Untold Story of How Journalist Hector C. Bywater Devised the Plans that Led to Pearl Harbor.
New York, St. Martin's Press, (1991). Cloth spine & boards, fine in d/w, endpaper map, maps, illust., pp. xvi, 346. ISBN 0-312-05454-8. ¶ "In a series of brilliant books and articles written during the twenties and thirties, Bywater prophetically outlined naval strategies that would read like a blueprint for the Pacific Theatre during World War II and establish his reputation as the successor to the great naval authority Alfred Thayer Mahan" (d/w blurb). The author posits that the Japanese Admiral Yamamoto not only adopted Bywater's ideas for the attack on Pearl Harbor, but arranged his death in 1940 in order to eliminate the one man who knew exactly what the Japanese navy would do in the event of war.
