The Silent War

April 1942
In Europe, the Germans are still totally unaware that the allies have broken the complicated
ENIGMA code, whilst in the Far East theatre, where the Japanese are using their own version
of the ENIGMA code, an intercepted communication leads Brigadier Donald Reisman, head of
British Intelligence in Calcutta, to the damning conclusion that the war's most closely
guarded secret is no longer secure.
Can he afford to test his theory when, to do so, he must open Pandora's box? And can he
afford not to?
One way or the other he must act - and quickly! Lives are at stake. Future campaigns are at
stake. For without the ENIGMA secret the already hard- pressed allied armies are in danger of
being swept further and further westward. Reisman's eventual decision leads his team back
into Japanese occupied Burma in an effort to free from a prison camp the one man who can
answer the burning question.
