Description
The story behind the codebreakers who cracked Enigma is one of perseverance and collaboration. During World War I, a team of British cryptographers at Room 40 had been working to decipher German naval codes, laying the groundwork for their success in the Second World War. Their efforts were not without challenge, but the techniques they developed during this period proved crucial in cracking the Enigma code. The book Before Enigma delves into the history of these early codebreakers and their contributions to British naval code tradition. From the capture of key enemy ships to the use of cracked codes in naval battles, Before Enigma sheds light on a pivotal moment in British military history.
