Description
The Enigma: The Battle for the Code By Hugh Sebag-Montefiore The story of how the German Enigma codes were broken is one of secrecy, bravery and sacrifice. This book tells the complete story of the Enigma machine's original invention and use by German forces, as well as its eventual cracking by Polish mathematicians who passed on their findings to the British. At the heart of this story are the exploits of spies, naval officers and ordinary seamen who risked their lives to obtain vital information about the German airforce Enigma. Meanwhile, the German Navy's more complex Enigma code seemed almost unbreakable to the Poles. This book brings together these different threads to create a compelling narrative that sheds new light on this pivotal moment in history. With meticulous research and attention to detail, Sebag-Montefiore reconstructs the events surrounding the Enigma machine's development and its eventual defeat by Allied forces.
