An instant bestseller when it was first published in 1946, this
memoir recounts the author's nearly forty years of service in naval
intelligence, beginning in 1908. One of the first to venture into
the realm of psychological warfare, Ellis Zacharias was awarded the
Legion of Merit with two gold stars for his contributions. Among
the highlights of his impressive career was the role he played in
convincing the Japanese to accept surrender in 1945, a subject he
deals with in fascinating detail in this book. Zacharias gives
readers access to rare psychological profiles that he prepared for
the Office of Naval Intelligence on leading political and military
figures in Japan. His book also recounts his exploits as a young
naval attache with the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo in the early 1920s. In
the early months of the war readers join him in the thick of combat
in the Pacific, first aboard a cruiser under his command and later
in a battleship. Of particular interest are descriptions of his
one-man radio broadcasts beamed at Japan between V-E and V-J days
that received kudos from Adm. Ernest J. King for helping bring
about the surrender.
