Description
Codebreaker in the Far East is the first book to describe how Bletchley Park and its Indian and Far Eastern outposts broke a series of Japanese codes and cipher systems. Their achievements made a significant contribution to the Allied victory in Burma, and probably helped shorten and win the war.
Alan Stripp recounts his experience of working against the clock, deciphering enemy messages, and facing an unyielding and resourceful foe who had never known defeat. With the knowledge that they were hampered by one of the world's most daunting languages, he gives a unique insight into the excitement and challenges of codebreaking during World War II.
This book provides a fascinating first-hand account of life as a codebreaker in the Far East, shedding light on a crucial chapter in British intelligence history.
