Cushing's Coup: The True Story of How Lt. Col. James Cushing and His Filipino Guerrillas Captured Japan's Plan Z

by Dirk Jan Barreveld

Book Overview

This work reveals one of the most important intelligence triumphs of World War II. It was no less than the capture of Japan's "Plan Z"--the Empire's fully detailed strategy for prosecuting the last stages of the Pacific War. It's a story of happenstance, mayhem, and intrigue, and resulted directly in the spectacular U.S. victory in the Philippine Sea and MacArthur's early return to Manila, doubtless shortening WWII by months.
