Название: Marching Orders: The Untold Story of World War II Автор: B. Lee Издательство: Integrated Media ISBN: 0517575760 Год: 1995 Формат: EPUB Страниц: 608 Размер: 14,7 МБ Язык: Английский Already acclaimed as "one of the most important books ever published about World War II,"* this brilliantly written book reveals a host of previously untold stories: how the American breaking of the Japanese diplomatic Purple ciphers led to the defeat of Germany and caused Eisenhower not to capture Berlin, as well as why America and Great Britain agreed to employ nuclear weapons against Japan. In researching Marching Orders, B. Lee had access to 1.5 million pages of U.S. Army documents – plus 15,000 pages of Japanese decrypts – detailing Germany's most sensitive military secrets. Japanese diplomats and military attaches in Europe sent these reports daily to Tokyo, believing falsely that their ciphers could not be broken. In turn, Tokyo sent its diplomats plans for the military expansion of the Japanese Empire.
