This book tells the story of the country's significant code-breaking and signals-intelligence achievements during the Second World War. It reveals how Australians built a large and sophisticated intelligence network from scratch, how Australian code-breakers cracked Japanese army and air force codes, and how the code-breakers played a vital role in the battles of Milne Bay, the Coral Sea, Hollandia and many others.

This is a rich historical account of a secret and little-understood side of the war, interwoven with lively personalities and personal stories of talented and dedicated individuals who significantly influenced the course of the Pacific War. (Trove)
