Interesting article in Vanity Fair on William J. Donovan:

(Note the error in the photo caption. They seem to confuse Donovan with Lord Mountbatten)

There is a new biography of Donovan out last month: “Wild Bill Donovan” by Douglas Waller.

iowamark: "There is a new biography of Donovan out last month: “Wild Bill Donovan” by Douglas Waller."

According to Victor (pages 32 & 47), Donovan received at least two specific warnings of the coming attack on Pearl Harbor.
These would be passed along to President Roosevelt during their regular meetings.
