Description
Between Silk and Cyanide is a memoir by Leo Marks, a cryptographer who left his father's famous bookshop in 1942 to join the war effort. Marks recounts his experiences with the Special Operations Executive (SOE), where he revolutionised code-making techniques and trained some of the most famous agents sent to France. This book offers a unique insight into the code war between SOE and the Germans in Holland, and how Marks broke General de Gaulle's secret code.
