The American Magic: Codes, Ciphers and the Defeat of Japan is a non-fiction book by Ronald Lewin, published in 1982. It tells the story of how the United States broke the Japanese codes and ciphers during World War II, and how this intelligence was used to defeat Japan.
The book begins with a description of the Japanese code system, which was based on the Purple machine. The Purple machine was a complex cipher machine that was used to encrypt Japanese diplomatic and military messages. The United States was able to break the Purple code in 1940, and this intelligence was codenamed "Magic."
