I used to have a copy of a book titled ‘Day of Deceit’ which pretty much laid out the screw ups that were made. There is a quick summary at amazon here:

Believable? I think so, but does anyone other than those involved know the “truth”? And even then it was probably compartmentalized.

No one has to climb far out on a limb to admit there were screw ups galore, however I have heard all the conspiracy theories and I find it highly unlikely that FDR allowed the attack to happen.

Stark and Kimmel were
warned that a breakdown of negotiations could lead to a Japanese sneak attack. In 1932, US Navy
wargames simulated a successful attack on Pearl Harbor. Kimmel and Short could easily have had their staffs on alert and prepared to look for signs of both Japanese naval attack and sabotage. The two were derilict in their duty.
