This book reveals the historical context and the evolution of the
technically complex Allied Signals Intelligence (Sigint) activity
against Japan from 1920 to 1945. It traces the all-important
genesis and development of the cryptanalytic techniques used to
break the main Japanese Navy code (JN-25) and the Japanese Army’s
Water Transport Code during WWII. This is the first book to
describe, explain and analyze the code breaking techniques
developed and used to provide this intelligence, thus closing the
sole remaining gap in the published accounts of the Pacific War.
The authors also explore the organization of cryptographic teams
and issues of security, censorship, and leaks. Correcting gaps in
previous research, this book illustrates how Sigint remained
crucial to Allied planning throughout the war. It helped direct the
advance to the Philippines from New Guinea, the sea battles and the
submarine onslaught on merchant shipping. Written by well-known
authorities on the history of cryptography and mathematics, Code
Breaking in the Pacific is designed for cryptologists,
mathematicians and researchers working in communications security.
Advanced-level students interested in cryptology, the history of
the Pacific War, mathematics or the history of computing will also
find this book a valuable resource.

During the long years of civil strife in China the Nationalist
authorities amassed extensive materials on their Communist
adversaries. Now stored in government institutions on Taiwan, these
materials are an excellent source for the study of the Chinese
Communist movement. Among them is the Bureau of Investigation
Collection (BIC), which holds over 300,000 volumes of primary
documents on the Chinese Communist movement.The purpose of Chinese
Communist Materials is, without any attempt at comprehensive
listing of the Bureau's holdings, to give scholars a representative
description of the collection, to point out its implications for
research, and suggest new areas for research at the Bureau in the
fields of political science and history [1, 4].
