Description
Bletchley Park was the top-secret workplace of the remarkable people who cracked Germany's vaunted Enigma Code. Nearly 4,000 German transmissions were deciphered daily by 1942, providing valuable information on key matters such as Rommel's army in North Africa and Allied attempts to mislead the Germans about D-Day landings. The work of Bletchley Park was hailed by Winston Churchill as the "secret weapon" that won the war. Now, for the first time, the men and women who worked there have come forward to tell their remarkable story in their own words. This book brings together twenty-seven first-hand accounts from the codebreakers team, sharing their technical knowledge of cryptography and military logistics, as well as poignant personal recollections. These engaging memoirs offer a unique insight into one of the most amazing feats in intelligence history, revealing the long hours, camaraderie, tension, excitement, and frustration that defined life at Bletchley Park.
