At
the height of World War II in the Pacific, two secret organizations
existed in Australia to break Japan's military codes. They were peopled
by brilliant and idiosyncratic cryptographers, including some
knowledgeable in mathematics and the Classics and others who had lived
or grown up in Japan. These men patiently and carefully unraveled the
codes in Japanese signals, ultimately playing a crucial role. But this
is more than a story of codes. It is an extraordinary exploration of a
unique group of men and their intense personal rivalries and loathing.
It is the story of a fierce international and inter-service political
battle for control of war-changing intelligence between a group of
cryptographers based at the Monterey apartment block in Melbourne's
Albert Park and General MacArthur's counter group headquartered in
suburban Brisbane. What happened between these two groups would have
consequences for intelligence services in the years to follow. Code Breakers brings this surprising and very secret world and the men who operated in it to rich life for the first time.
