Description
Colossus: The Secrets of Bletchley Park's Code-breaking Computers
This book reveals the story behind Colossus, the world's first fully-functioning electronic digital computer, used during World War II to crack enemy codes at Bletchley Park.
The declassification of wartime documents in the US has made it possible to share the history of this remarkable machine and its impact on computing technology. Personal accounts from those who worked with Colossus, including Thomas Flowers, architect of the machine, are also included in this book.
