Inside Project MAGIC: The Codebreakers Who Knew Japan’s Moves Before They Happened

It was called Project MAGIC, America’s top-secret effort to intercept and decode Japan’s encrypted communications. Using early computers, captured codebooks, and a handful of brilliant cryptanalysts, the U.S. broke into the Japanese diplomatic cipher system known as PURPLE. For the first time in history, one nation could read another’s secret messages almost in real time. What they uncovered reshaped the Pacific War — revealing battle plans, diplomatic moves, and even the Emperor’s words. Yet the intelligence came at a cost: messages that could have prevented tragedy arrived too late to stop Pearl Harbor. This is the untold story of Project MAGIC — the hidden network of mathematicians, linguists, and soldiers whose invisible victories helped turn the tide of World War II.
