Description

Discover how British school pupils were rapidly trained to master Japanese during World War II in this remarkable historical account translated by Ann Kaneko. Between 1942 and 1947, London University's covert language programme recruited and developed 648 linguistic experts in just 18 months or less, preparing them as translators, interpreters and interrogators for the Allied Pacific War effort. This book reveals the extraordinary story of how Britain tackled what was then regarded as the world's most challenging language to produce the specialised personnel essential for intelligence and military operations against Japan. A fascinating insight into wartime innovation, linguistic achievement and the behind-the-scenes contributions that shaped the Pacific campaign, this Routledge publication uncovers a hidden chapter of British wartime education and espionage.
