This book offers a profoundly new perspective on the naval war in the Pacific during World War II, examining every aspect of the secret war of intelligence—from radio dispatches and espionage to vital information obtained from prisoners, document translation, and even deep sea divers' recoveries of critical material from wrecks at the bottom of the sea. John Prados's text covers both the Allies and the Japanese and relates the growing intelligence knowledge to the progress and outcome of Pacific naval actions. \"Combined Fleet Decoded\" also tells the stories of many of the key individuals whose personalities and conflicts shaped the secret intelligence war, including intelligence officers in the Imperial Japanese Navy.The most authoritative and revealing examination yet of the way intelligence--of all kinds--was instrumental in defeating Japan. Prados gives a new picture of the war in the Pacific, one which will challenge many previous conceptions about that conflict, and one which will be irresistible to those readers who find histories of that period fascinating. 16 pages of photos.
