Terror in our Time; the Secret Service of Surprise Attack

By Richard Wilmer Rowan

Book Overview

Originally published in 1940, this book focuses on the military strategies of surprise attacks, such as the Pearl Harbor attack, and their impact on global politics. Rowan, a former naval officer, provides a detailed analysis of the factors that contributed to surprise attacks, including the use of air power and intelligence gathering. He argues for a greater emphasis on preparedness and the use of new technologies in order to prevent devastating surprise attacks in the future. The book is a valuable historical record of military strategy during World War II and a thought-provoking analysis of the continuing relevance of surprise attack in modern warfare.
