Publisher's Synopsis

Like many young men during World War II, John Denkler wanted to serve his country. Enlisting in the navy's flight training program, Denkler was preparing for the invasion of Japan when the war ended.

WWII's sudden conclusion didn't prevent Denkler from serving. He spent three years flying from aircraft carriers as part of an anti-submarine squadron, although his main contribution would be intellectual.

Noticing Denkler's aptitude for puzzle-solving, the navy ordered the young man to learn Russian to become a code-breaker. For the remainder of his thirty-year military career Denkler lived in the shadowy world of cryptology, intercepting and deciphering coded messages.

Denkler's greatest challenge, however, came after retirement. As his wife's Alzheimer's disease worsened, Denkler refused to have her institutionalized. In spite of his own physical problems he honored a promise: that he would stay by her side.

By turns uplifting and somber, humorous and heart-wrenching, Beyond Buntyn chronicles one man's extraordinary life and dedication.
