Description

Ghosts of Honolulu: A Japanese Spy, a Japanese American Spy Hunter, and the Untold Story of Pearl Harbor In the months leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, a cat-and-mouse game was unfolding between Japanese and US military intelligence agents in Hawaii. A Japanese spy, Takeo Yoshikawa, was operating as a junior diplomat with the consulate, collecting vital information that went straight to Admiral Yamamoto. Meanwhile, a US naval counterintelligence officer was working to safeguard Pearl Harbor, unaware of the hidden stories of deception and danger that were about to be exposed. As the war clouds gathered, Douglas Wada, the only Japanese American agent in naval intelligence, found himself caught in the middle. Posing undercover as a newspaper reporter, translating wiretaps on the Japanese Consulate, and interrogating America's first captured POW of World War II, Wada's experiences were about to be revealed in a gripping true-life story of espionage and danger. Mark Harmon, a US naval counterintelligence officer, and co-author Leon Carroll, a former NCIS Special Agent, have brought forth a fascinating account of the untold story of Pearl Harbor. Scrutinizing long-buried historical documents, they have shed new light on the world-changing events that led to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
