Book Overview
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 of dazzling variety and complexity. Their achievements made a major contribution to the Allied victory in Burma, and probably
helped to shorten and win the war, perhaps by two or three years. Alan Stripp gives his first-hand account of the excitement of reading the enemy's mind, of working against the clock, hampered by one of the world's most daunting languages and the knowledge that they were facing an unyielding
and resourceful enemy who had never known defeat.

Boring yet Interesting!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
After taking half the book for what might be the most boring WW2 autobiography in print, we get an excellent look at Japanese cryptosystems and how they were attacked. If you're interested in crypto-stuff you'll love this book. If not, keep looking.
Fine Narrative
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The author was a cryptographer working out of Australia during WWW II. This is his personal narrative and an operational history combined. Not definitive because at the time of writing much documentation remained to be declassified. A worthwhile addition to a SIGINT collection.
