A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Alan Stripp turned his experience as a wartime codebreaker to good effect in both historical and fictional accounts of the secret war against the Japanese. In Codebreaker in the Far East (1989), Stripp described his career as a cryptanalyst within an account of the contribution of British signals intelligence in the Allied victory in Burma in 1945. The Code Snatch is a fictionalised account of the theft of a Japanese military codebook in late 1944. The novel is based on true events, though Stripp would never be drawn on the exact points where fact and fiction coincided.

Présentation de l'éditeur

THE SECRET’S OUT!

Here, at last, is a novel based upon one of the most daring exploits of World War Two ever undertaken by British Intelligence Officers, including the author.

‘Operation Paperchase’ was a clever, colourful, and hair-raising affair; to steal the Japanese military codebook about to be used throughout South-East Asia – a jungle area of savage fighting set in appalling conditions.
