Synopsis
"The Emperor's Codes" moves across the world from Bletchley Park to Pearl Harbor; from Singapore to Colombo; and from Mombasa to Melbourne, describing not just how the Japanese codes and ciphers were broken but how the lives of the codebreakers, both professional and personal, were affected. It tells the stories of John Tiltman, the eccentric British soldier turned codebreaker who made many of the early breaks into Japanese diplomatic and military codes; Eric Nave, the Australian sailor recruited to work for the British who pioneered breakthroughs in Japanese naval codes; and of Oshima Hiroshi, the hard-drinking Japanese ambassador to Berlin, whose candid reports to Tokyo of his conversations with Hitler and other high-ranking Nazis were a major source of intelligence in the war against Germany. Many of these revelations have been made possible only through using declassified British files, through privileged access to Australian secret official histories, and interviews with a number of British, American and Australian codebreakers.

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title.Author: Michael SmithFormat: Paperback Number of Pages: 336In the No. 1 bestseller Station X Michael Smith brought us the riveting true story of how British experts broke Nazi Germany's wartime codes. In The Emperor's Codes he continues this fascinating story as he examines how Japan's codes were broken and what effect this had on the war in the Far East, through the eyes of those who worked on them. Using newly released material from the Public Record Office, the Bletchley Park archives and the memories of those who worked there, the story of how Japan's codes were broken travels from London to Shanghai, Singapore, the Indian sub-continent and British East Africa. It takes the reader into the lives, and loves, of the men and women battling to break the emperor's codes. It tells the stories of John Tiltman, the eccentric British soldier turned code-breaker who made many of the early breaks into Japanese diplomatic and military codes; Eric Nave, the Australian sailor recruited to work for the British who pioneered breakthroughs in Japanese naval codes; and of Hiroshi Oshima, the hard-drinking Japanese ambassador to Berlin, whose candid reports to Tokyo of his conversations with Hitler and other leading Nazis were a major source of intelli.
