America's Hidden Stories S01E04 - Pearl Harbor Spies

Episode Overview

On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, resulting in the deaths of more than 2,300 American military personnel. The commonly accepted narrative suggests that the U.S. was completely unprepared and taken by surprise. However, recently uncovered documents from U.S. Naval intelligence and the FBI present an alternate story, indicating that Japanese and German spies had been surveilling Pearl Harbor well in advance, while American agents monitored their activities. This raises the question: how did the U.S. remain so tragically unprepared? Contemporary historians are eager to uncover the truth.
