Despite American claims, this fascinating book shows conclusively that British and Australian naval officers broke the Imperial codes long before Pearl Harbour. It chronicles developments throughout the war including how America chose to ignore warnings of an attack because it did not believe the Japanese would dare start a conflict, how Churchill warned Stalin of the German invasion, also ignored, and how the allies were able to monitor Rommel's strategy for defending the French coastline.
