Description
The real story behind the breaking of the Enigma code is one of intrigue and bravery. Secret documents were smuggled across borders, and those involved faced hair-raising escapes and Gestapo interrogations. This is the untold tale of how Polish mathematicians and French spymasters played a crucial role in changing the course of World War II. At its heart is the story of how Enigma was cracked, but it's not just about the codebreakers - it's also about the people who helped them, including those who risked everything to share vital information. X, Y & Z sheds light on a pivotal moment in history that has been shrouded in secrecy for too long. Dermot Turing's Second Edition of this book offers a fresh perspective on a fascinating period in history, revealing the complexities and challenges faced by those involved in the Enigma codebreaking process.
