Why did the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor? How did they inflict the greatest military defeat in American history? What went wrong? "And I Was There" is the first book by a top-ranking American navy officer to answer these questions. Admiral Layton scrupulously kept these secrets to himself until the recent declassification of a half million documents from U.S. military archives. Only then did Layton believe he was free to tell his story. He names those who knew about Japanese intentions, how they acquired their knowledge and how they misused it. He speaks with unique authority. He was the Pacific Fleets intelligence officer prior to Pearl Harbor, and he continued to serve in the same capacity for Admiral Nimitz throughout the war. As Layton says: he was there.

Great read. Highly recommended.
This book is s a facinating look behind the scenes of formerly secret work that served our country well, and broached the facts about egos that cared more about appearance than reality. Hawaii was working for the country, while Washington D.C. was working for appearances and credit. I suspect this is a book that certain parties would have wanted to surpress at time of publication.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
