The inside story of Operation Ultra, Bletchley Park, and Enigma.
This book is not so much about the technical aspects of code breaking during the Second World War, but more about how the information was used, how the various generals responded to ultra secret intelligence, and the extraordinary lengths that allied command took to maintain the secrecy of their “secret weapon” to win the war against Germany and Japan.
The work of the code breakers and the success of keeping their operation secret was so successful, that eighty years after the war ended, most people today are still unaware that German and Japanese signals had been hacked from a very early period in the war
