Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was one of the best analytical war books that I have ever read. First, I was impressed with the product. I ordered a used book, and it arrived perfect, like new. Beyond expectations. Second, I was familiar with Axis and Allied Intelligence, but this book was like a training manual in code breaking and code writing on both sides. My best friends liked the insights into the jealousies between branches of the services in consolidating and sharing in intelligence data, but my fascination was how advanced and secret were the facts that we knew about what the Germans and Japanese were doing and planning, and what they knew about what we were doing too...until the Navajo Code Talkers. A fascinating read. Essential for a total comprehension of what went on behind the scenes of all the planning and execution of the Super Powers involved. Perhaps the most challenging question raised was whether the Russians knew about the whereabouts of the Japanese fleet while on its way to Pearl Harbor? Especially, since the Kremlin had made a deal to have one of their boats pass the Japanese fleet safely in the Pacific without interruption and in clear sight of what was happening. This is a book that a serious scholar can't put down.
