About This Item
The Emperor's Codes, Bletchley Park And The Breaking Of Japan's Secret Ciphers, Smith, Michael. Bantam Press, UK, 2001. Laminated card covers. 410 pages plus 16 pages of black and white photographs. Slight shelf wear and toning; no markings, torn or folded pages.With much new material from British, Australian, Indian and Japanese sources, Colin Smith has woven together the full and terrifying story of the fall of Singapore and its aftermath. Here, alongside cowardice and incompetence, are forgotten acts of enormous heroism; treachery yet heart-rending loyalty; Japanese compassion as well as brutality from the bravest and most capricious enemy the British ever had to face.
