All issues from the assessment of personnel, tactics and technology, to strategy and industry are addressed together. American assessments of Japan’s poor strategic and industrial position remained highly accurate, while assessments of Japanese tactics and technology were flawed. Since the Americans planned to fight a prolonged war of attrition, strategic and industrial assessments proved far more critical than those which assessed low level issues.
