One thing I found interesting was that a British writer predicted the Pacific War as early as 1925. He got some of the details wrong, predicting an attack on Manila rather than Hawaii, but his foretelling of the actual campaign was quite accurate, probably because both Japanese and American strategists used the book as a guide.

And copies of the book are available.
