Enigma: The Battle For The Code

No episode in the Second World War has captured the modern imagination more strongly than the cracking of the Enigma code by the Boffins of Bletchley Park.

Yet was this what really happened? Without for a moment belittling the work of Alan Turing and co., this book shows the extent to which the all-important naval Enigma cryptographers were reliant on more traditional forms of cloak and dagger: the heroic capture of U-boats and their codebooks on the high seas, and the betrayal of his German homeland by the Enigma Spy, an old-fashioned traitor. Such deeds turned out to be just as decisive as any cryptographic breakthrough.

Using new material from the archives this book for the first time tells the full, thrilling story of 'Enigma: The Battle For The Code'.
