Talk:Eric Nave

Untitled

Following is an abstract of an article written by David Horovitz, current editor of the Jerusalem Post, when he was a reporter for the newspaper, on March 10, 1989:

The official, Eric Nave, who after the war became director of Australia's intelligence services, has revealed in a new book that Winston Churchill knew that a Japanese task force had sailed for Pearl Harbour with plans to attack on December 7, 1941.

Publication of the book, Codebreaker Extraordinary, has been blocked by the Ministry of Defence, whose "D-Notice Committee" - which advises the media on national security - has sent a letter warning publishers Bodley Head not to print Nave's signal intelligence memoirs.

The book, which Nave co-wrote with James Rusbridger, a former British intelligence officer, states that Britain had been cracking Japanese naval codes since the 1920s.

Would not this suggest a greater veracity to the accusation against Churchill than the author of the Wikipedia entry allows? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.15.198 (talk) 04:39, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
