Enigma

The Battle For The Code

Weidenfeld & Nicolson

Indisponible
The complete story of how the German Enigma codes were broken. Perfect for
fans of THE IMITATION GAME, the new film on Alan Turing's Enigma code,
starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Breaking the German Enigma codes was not only about brilliant mathematicians
and professors at Bletchley Park. There is another aspect of the story which
it is only now possible to tell. It takes in the exploits of spies, naval
officers and ordinary British seamen who risked, and in some cases lost, their
lives snatching the vital Enigma codebooks from under the noses of Nazi
officials and from sinking German ships and submarines.

This book tells the whole Enigma story: its original invention and use by
German forces and how it was the Poles who first cracked - and passed on to
the British - the key to the German airforce Enigma. The more complicated
German Navy Enigma appeared to them to be unbreakable.
