From the Back Cover

The wartime exploits of Britain's codebreakers continue to fascinate and amaze. In the bestselling Station X, Michael Smith wrote about the breaking of the Enigma cipher. Now, to continue this previously untold story, he turns to Far Eastern theatre to reveal how Japan's secret codes were broken, and the consequences for the Second World War.

Drawing on recently declassified British files, Australian secret official histories, and the memories of an unprecedented number of surviving codebreakers, The Emperor's Codes is the first full account of the vital role played by British and Australian codebreakers in the last war, and a classic contribution to our understanding of that tumultuous time.

Revised and updated for this paperback edition, with new material on how to break the Japanese superenciphered codes.
