      abstract = {This book reveals the historical context and the evolution  of the technically complex Allied Signals Intelligence  (Sigint) activity against Japan from 1920 to 1945. It  traces the all-important genesis and development of the  cryptanalytic techniques used to break the main Japanese  Navy code (JN-25) and the Japanese Army's Water Transport  Code during WWII. This is the first book to describe,  explain and analyze the code breaking techniques developed  and used to provide this intelligence, thus closing the  sole remaining gap in the published accounts of the Pacific  War. The authors also explore the organization of  cryptographic teams and issues of security, censorship, and  leaks. Correcting gaps in previous research, this book  illustrates how Sigint remained crucial to Allied planning  throughout the war. It helped direct the advance to the  Philippines from New Guinea, the sea battles and the  submarine onslaught on merchant shipping. Written by  well-known authorities on the history of cryptography and  mathematics, Code Breaking in the Pacific is designed for  cryptologists, mathematicians and researchers working in  communications security. Advanced-level students interested  in cryptology, the history of the Pacific War, mathematics  or the history of computing will also find this book a  valuable resource.},
