Elliot Carlsons Awardwinning Biography Of Capt. Joe Rochefort Is The First To Be Written About The Officer Who Headed Station Hypo, The U.S. Navy'S Signals Monitoring And Cryptographic Intelligence Unit At Pearl Harbor, And Who Broke The Japanese Navy'S Code Before The Battle Of Midway. The Book Brings Rochefort To Life As The Irreverent, Fiercely Independent, And Consequential Officer That He Was. Readers Share His Frustrations As He Searches In Vain For Yamamotos Fleet Prior To The Japanese Attack On Pearl Harbor, But Share His Joy When He Succeeds In Tracking The Fleet In Early 1942 And Breaks The Code That Leads Rochefort To Believe Yamamotos Invasion Target Is Midway. His Conclusions, Bitterly Opposed By Some Top Navy Brass, Are Credited With Making The U.S. Victory Possible And Helping To Change The Course Of The War. The Author Tells The Story Of How Opponents In Washington Forced Rocheforts Removal From Station Hypo And Denied Him The Distinguished Service Medal Recommended By Admiral Nimitz. In Capturing The Interplay Of Policy And Personality And The Role Played By Politics At The Highest Levels Of The Navy, Carlson Reveals A Side Of The Intelligence Community Seldom Seen By Outsiders. For A Full Understanding Of The Man, Carlson Examines Rocheforts Lovehate Relationship With Cryptanalysis, His Adventurefilled Years In The 1930S As The Righthand Man To The Commander In Chief Of The U.S. Fleet, And His Return To Codebreaking In Mid1941 As The Officer In Charge Of Station Hypo. He Traces Rocheforts Career From His Enlistment In 1918 To His Posting In Washington As Head Of The Navy'S Codebreaking Desk At Age Twentyfive, And Beyond. In Many Ways A Reinterpretation Of Rochefort, The Book Makes Clear The Key Role His Codebreaking Played In The Outcome Of Midway And The Legacy He Left Of Reporting Actionable Intelligence Directly To The Fleet. An Epilogue Describes Efforts Waged By Rocheforts Colleagues To Obtain The Medal Denied Him In 1942A Drive That Finally Paid Off In 1986 When The Medal Was Awarded Posthumously.
