Breve biografia
Roberta Wohlstetter was born Roberta Mary Morgan, a daughter of Edmund Morris Morgan, a Harvard law professor who helped to modernize the U.S. code of military justice, and his wife Elsie Morgan. She married nuclear strategist Albert Wohlstetter. She graduated from Vassar College in 1933 and received a master’s in psychology at Columbia University in 1936 and a master's in comparative literature at Radcliffe College in 1937. She became one of the USA's most important historians of military intelligence. Her most influential work was Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision (1962), a now-classic account of the intelligence failure at Pearl Harbor that established guidelines for strategic surprise theory and was cited by the 9/11 Commission Report.
She also wrote

International Terrorism: Kidnapping to Win Friends and Influence People (1974). She worked as an analyst for the RAND Corporation from 1948 to 1965, and continued to be a consultant through 2002. She also taught at the University of Chicago, Barnard College, and Howard University. In 1985, she was awarded the Medal of Freedom jointly with her husband by President Ronald Reagan.
The book Nuclear Heuristics: Selected Writings of Albert and Roberta Wohlstetter, edited by Robert Zarate and Henry Sokolski, was published in 2009.
