Description

Discover the untold story of how British school pupils were recruited for an urgent wartime mission. This book explores London University's secret WWII teaching programme, designed to train individuals in what was then considered the most difficult language in the world. Learn how these students were taught to master Japanese in 18 months or less to support the allied effort in the Pacific War. The text details the training of a staggering 648 experts between 1942 and 1947 who served as translators, interpreters, and interrogators. Translated by Ann Kaneko, this historical account provides a deep look into the rapid educational mobilization required during the conflict. For readers interested in 20th-century British history and the logistics of wartime intelligence, this work offers a unique perspective on the specialized skills needed to beat Japan during the Second World War. It is a significant addition to any collection regarding the history of Great Britain and the Pacific War effort.
