Editorial Reviews

Review

“Who knew? This enthralling study tells a deeply human story. The men and women who gave our troops a significant edge in the fight against the Japanese are the genuine heroes in this engaging and exciting book.”
Michael McKernan, author of The Strength of a Nation and When This Thing Happened

“A delightfully and thoroughly engaging story of the emergence of the Australian contribution to the signals and radio interception intelligence…Dufty’s writing style is light and easy to read, reminiscent of other contemporary historical narratives that tell a series of stories, most notably the emphasis of the human story associated with these experiences.”
Rhys Ball, NZ International Review

“This is history and military strategy written at its most engaging.”
Waikato Times

“The author weaves a true tale of intrigue, remarkable perseverance, urgency and good luck.”
Hawkes Bay Weekend
