An historical account of the little-known Australian participation in Allied Signals Intelligence during WWII and their secret activities against Japan. Includes an index, copies of authentic Special Intelligence Bulletins and a bibliography. The author served in various wireless units in WWII.

For 20-year-old Jack Bleakley volunteering for an unspecified ‘dangerous mission’ and thus becoming one of a select group of wireless interceptors at the beginning of the war in the Pacific was the start of the experience of his lifetime. Here for the first time is the story of those young Australian men and women whose skill in intercepting coded Japanese transmissions provided General MacArthur’s intelligence operations with vital information about enemy operations in the South West Pacific Area. pp. xvi, 261 illusts #0621 SCARCE
