Although famous for breaking the Nazis' Enigma code, the teams at Bletchley Park were also engaged in breaking the codes of all Germany's allies, and among them the machine ciphers of Japan. Drawing on files that were only recently declassified, Michael Smith tells the engrossing story of the British and Australian cryptographers - John Tiltman, Eric Nave and Hugh Foss - who broke the Japanese diplomatic and military codes.

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 served for nine years in the British Army's Intelligence Corps as a latter-day codebreaker before going to work for the BBC Monitoring Service. He has written for a number of newspapers, including the Financial Times, the Sunday Times, and most recently the Daily Telegraph, where he is Defense Correspondent.

Seller: Bill & Ben Books, Faringdon, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: As New. In his bestselling STATION X Michael Smith brought us the astonishing true story of the breaking of the Enigma Code. In THE EMPEROR'S CODES he continues the tale as he examines how Japan's codes were broken, and the consequences for the Second World War. THE EMPEROR'S CODES tells the stories of John Titman, 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 Hiroshi Oshima, 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 thanks to recently declassified British files, privileged access to Australian secret official histories, and interviews with an unprecedented number of British, American and Australian codebreakers.
