Pearl Harbor in Retrospect (The Atlantic, 1948)
“If one reads first the end of a good detective story, and then starts in at the beginning and reads through, it is easy to pick out the real clues from those which would have led to other deductions.”
I don’t think I realized how damn interesting this would be. Must be what it will be like to read 9/11 articles in 60 years. Makes me want to go back and read more retrospective pieces like this a little while after major events. Great detail.
