Inhaltsangabe

'Turing writes on codebreaking with understandable authority and compelling panache.'
- Michael Smith, bestselling author of Station X.

At Bletchley Park, some of Britain's most talented mathematicians, linguists, and intellectuals were assembled to break Nazi codes. Kept secret for nearly thirty years, we have now come to realize the crucial role that these codebreakers played in the Allied victory in World War II.

Written by Dermot Turing - the nephew of famous codebreaker Alan Turing - this illustrated account provides unique insight into the behind-the-scenes action at Bletchley Park. Discover how brilliant and eccentric individuals such as Dilly Knox, Alan Turing and Joan Clarke were recruited, the social life that grew up around the park, and how they dealt with the ever-present burden of secrecy. Learn about the origins of international intelligence co-operation, as the United States sent representatives from the Army and Navy to learn about the new codebreaking techniques being developed in Britain, and how these experiences shaped efforts to break the Japanese codes.

Including a foreword by Professor Christopher Andrew of Cambridge University, author of MI5's official history The Secret World, this book brings to life the stories of the men and women who toiled day and night to crack the seemingly unbreakable enigma code.

Written by the nephew of the "Father of Modern Computing", Alan Turing, this title provides a unique insight into the codebreaking efforts at Bletchley Park.

The codebreaking efforts at Bletchley Park have obtained greater recognition since the release of the film The Imitation Game in 2014.

The codebreaker Alan Turing was voted as the greatest icon of the 20th century in a BBC programme in 2019.

Includes a chapter on US involvement in Bletchley Park, including American codebreakers.
