Intelligence and the War against Japan offers the first
comprehensive scholarly history of the development of the British
secret service and its relations with its American intelligence
counterparts during the war against Japan. Richard J. Aldrich makes
extensive use of recently declassified files in order to examine
the politics of secret service during the war against Japan,
analyzing the development of organizations such as the Special
Operations Executive and the Office of Strategic Services in Asia.
He argues that, from the Battle of Midway in June 1942, the Allies
focused increasingly on each other's future ambitions, rather than
the common enemy. Central to this theme are Churchill, Roosevelt
and their rivalry over the future of the role of Asia. Richard J.
Aldrich's cogent, fluent analysis of the role of intelligence in
Far Eastern developments is the most thorough and penetrating
account of this latterday "Great Game" yet produced. Richard J.
Aldrich is Senior Lecturer, Department of Politics at the
University of Nottingham. He has edited several books, as well as
the journal Intelligence and National Security.
