In this gripping, previously untold story from World War II,
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 II might have
been very different.
