Intelligence and Surprise Attack examines why surprise attacks often succeed even though warnings in many cases had been available beforehand. Dahl challenges the conventional wisdom about intelligence failure, which holds that attacks succeed because warnings get lost amid noise and intelligence officials lack the imagination to 'connect the dots'.
