Description

An astounding assessment of the invaluable role of U.S. and Allied codebreakers in the sprawling naval war against Japan.

He uncovers the key role played by codebreakers in the naval stand-off at Coral Sea and the showdown at Midway; how cryptanalysis affected the Guadalcanal campaign and set up the airborne assassination of Admiral Yamoto; ULTRA’s importance in giving the US foreknowledge of Japanese operations in the Solomons and made Allied submarines such a deadly threat to enemy shipping.
