Hardback. Zustand: Fair. In this gripping, previously untold story from World War I, Michael Smith examines how code breakers cracked Japan's secret codes and won the war in the Pacific. He also takes the reader step by step through the process, explaining exactly how the code breakers went about their daunting task--made even more difficult by the vast linguistic differences between Japanese and English. The Emperor's Codes moves across the world from Bletchley Park to Pearl Harbor, from Singapore to Colombo, and from Mombasa to Melbourne. It tells the stories of John Tiltman, the British soldier turned code breaker who made many of the early breaks in Japanese diplomatic and military codes; Commander Joe Rochedort, the leading expert on Japanese in U.S. naval intelligence; Eric Nave, the Australian sailor who pioneered breakthroughs in deciphering Japanese naval codes; and Oshima Hiroshi, the hard-drinking Japanese ambassador to Berlin whose candid, often verbose reports to Tokyo of his conversations with Hitler and other high-ranking Nazis were a major source of intelligence in the war against Germany. Without the dedication demonstrated by these relatively unsung heroes, the outcome of World War I might have been very different.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xii, [6], 323, [3] pages. Map. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Michael Smith is a number one bestselling author and award winning journalist. He left school at 15 to join the British Army and after service with the Royal Artillery became a member of the army's Intelligence Corps monitoring terrorist and Soviet Bloc communications. Smith studied Arabic before working for three years in the Middle-East collecting intelligence on terrorists operating in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. He also took part in Britain's secret war against communist rebels in Oman, as part of a small unit providing intelligence for the SAS. Smith then spent four years in Europe, becoming a German interpreter and producing reports on the activities of the East German armed forces. He left the BBC in 1990 to become a newspaper journalist. He wrote on eastern Europe for the Financial Times and the Sunday Times before joining the Daily Telegraph, where he was Defence Correspondent. Derived from a Kirkus review: An account of American and British operations that broke Japanese codes during WWII. In 1943, when fighters shot down a transport carrying Admiral Yamamoto, it was publicized as a lucky accident-but, in fact, details of his flight had been broadcast by the Japanese and intercepted. Inferior American forces could not have won the key naval battle of Midway without knowledge of enemy positions given by Japanese transmissions: American submarines devastated Japanese shipping because we knew their routes and positions. British journalist Smith includes a fascinating step-by-step explanation of codebreaking. Because of their difficult language and sense of intellectual superiority, the Japanese assumed their codes were unbreakable. The codebreakers themselves were a collection of academics, geniuses, and eccentrics assisted by an army of clerks. The author interviewed survivors and pored over old records to tell one of the greatest stories of the century. First U. S. Edition [stated]. First printing [stated].…
