| Sumario: | The CIA was created in 1947 in large part to prevent another Pearl Harbor. On at least four dramatic occasions, the Agency failed at this task. There has been no shortage of studies to understand how such failures happened.

In contrast, this book proposes a unified, coherent and rigorous theory of intelligence failure built on culture and identity. |
