Story4.5 out of 5 stars 189
Elliot Carlson's biography of Captain Joe Rochefort is the first to be written of the officer who headed the U.S. Navy's decrypt unit at Pearl Harbor and broke the Japanese Navy's code before the Battle of Midway. Listeners will share Rochefort's frustrations as he searches in vain for Yamamoto's fleet prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and share his joy when he succeeds in tracking the fleet in early 1942 and breaks the code that leads him to believe Yamamoto's invasion target is Midway.

Knew some about Rochefort's story. He was well versed in what it took to lead Hypo. My biggest complaint, and it's a general one for most Audible books, is how bad all of the voice over presenters mispronounce Japanese words, specifically Yokosuka. its Yo Ko Ska, not Yo Ko Sooka.
