Combined Fleet Decoded The Secret History of American Intelligence and the Japanese Navy in ...
A comprehensive study of WWII in the Pacific, with slightly more weight on intelligence than other histories. Definitely felt like a source for Cryptonomicon, and I always love that feeling. Anecdotes reinforcing that are the factoid that Eisenhower and Churchill were not allowed to visit the front because of their Ultra knowledge, failed codebook disposals, and the case where Chief of Staff Burke wanted to know why a radio lieutenant had such unfettered access to Admiral Mitscher. None of these histories can ever paint Halsey in a good light.
This book illuminated the principle of focus on mission. When commanders retained this focus (Spruance at Midway), they achieved success even if later criticized. When commanders lost the focus on mission (Halsey at Leyte), catastrophe ensued.
