The Emperor’s Codes moves across the world from Bletchley Park to Pearl Harbor; from Singapore to Colombo; and from Mombasa to Melbourne, describing the extraordinary exploits of the British codebreakers during the Second World War -- all fascinating, astonishing and amazing.
Where previous books have all emphasized the roles played by the American codebreakers this is the first full account of the critical role played by Bletchley Park and it’s worldwide outposts. Using the memories of those at the forefront of the battle, Michael Smith reveals a gripping story.

Michael Smith is a former member of the Intelligence Corps. He is the author of New Cloak,Old Dagger: How Britain's Spies Came in from the Cold and Station X, and co-author of Odd Man Out: The Story of the Singapore Traitor. He lives in Oxfordshire.
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.
