An episode of the venerable Golden Age Of Cable TV documentary series on the triplicate complex of intelligence activities leading up to The Attack On Pearl Harbor: 1) Takeo Yoshikawa, Japanese spy whose expertise on the U.S. Navy landed him a cover post as a Vice-Consul to the the new Japanese Consul-General Nagao Kita in Hawaii, where his second-story apartment overlooking Pearl Harbor, his overnight visits with the geishas of The Shunchoro Tea House overlooking Pearl Harbor, his wanderings around the island of Oahu, his rented airplane flights near U.S. military installations, his taking trips on the U.S. Navy's own harbor tugboat and listening to local gossip, and his diving under the harbor using a hollow reed as a breathing device enabled him to gather information which was sent back to Japan via innocent-sounding Japanese Foreign Office transmissions and local Hawaiian radio station broadcasts of coded "Lost-And-Found" notices; 2) The American intercepts of the Purple Cipher transmissions of The Japanese Foreign Office which forwarned the United States of the attack long in advance, intercepts made possible by US Army Signal Intelligence Service (SIS) cryptographer William F. Friedman, known as "The Houdini Of Codes And Cyphers", who invented of a replica of Japan's Type B Cipher Machine, without ever having seen the original, used to encde and to decode their secret diplomatic messages; and 3) Dusan "Dusko" Popov OBE, Serbian aristocrat, lawyer and businessman, codenamed Dusko while serving as a Yugoslav intelligence agent, who while serving as an agent of Germany's Abwehr (codenamed Ivan) was as a double agent for Britan's MI6 (codenamed Tricycle) as part of the British Double-Cross System during World War II, whose lavish lifestyle and courting of beautiful women such as French actress Simone Simon during his missions served as the inspiration for Ian Fleming's "James Bond", who in New York City on August 12, 1941 provided the FBI with a microdot disguised as a period on a printed German telegram which, when magnified, contained three typewritten pages, one of which was a questionnaire about Pearl Harbor's military dispositions, to be obtained on behalf of Germany's Japanese allies. FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover forwarded this information to Army and Navy intelligence who, either due to its not being read or for reasons of their own, took no action.


December 7, 1941: World War II: The Asia-Pacific War: The Attack On Pearl Harbor: National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day: The U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was attacked in a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service, an event memorialized in the United States as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. The attack led to the United States' entry into World War II. The Japanese military leadership referred to the attack as the Hawaii Operation and Operation AI, and as Operation Z during its planning. Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions they planned in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States. Over the next seven hours there were coordinated Japanese attacks on the U.S.-held Philippines, Guam and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The attack commenced at 7:48 a.m. Hawaiian Time. The base was attacked by 353 Imperial Japanese aircraft (including fighters, level and dive bombers, and torpedo bombers) in two waves, launched from six aircraft carriers. All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four sunk. All but the USS Arizona were later raised, and six were returned to service and went on to fight in the war. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, and one minelayer. One hundred eighty-eight U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 others were wounded. Important base installations such as the power station, dry dock, shipyard, maintenance, and fuel and torpedo storage facilities, as well as the submarine piers and headquarters building (also home of the intelligence section), were not attacked. Japanese losses were light: 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 64 servicemen killed. One Japanese sailor, Kazuo Sakamaki, was captured. The surprise attack came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters. The following day, December 8, the United States declared war on Japan, and several days later, on December 11, Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S. The U.S. responded with a declaration of war against Germany and Italy. Domestic support for non-interventionism, which had been fading since the Fall of France in 1940, disappeared. There were numerous historical precedents for unannounced military action by Japan, but the lack of any formal warning, particularly while negotiations were still apparently ongoing, led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy". Because the attack happened without a declaration of war and without explicit warning, the attack on Pearl Harbor was later judged in the Tokyo Trials to be a war crime.
