What is The Codebreakers of Bletchley Park : The Secret Intelligence Station That Helped Defeat the Nazis about?
' Turing writes on codebreaking with understandable authority and compelling panache. ' - Michael Smith, bestselling author of Station X . At Bletchley Park, some of Britain's most talented mathematicians, linguists, and intellectuals were assembled to break Nazi codes. Kept secret for nearly thirty years, we have now come to realise the crucial role that these codebreakers played in the Allied victory in World War II. Written by Dermot Turing - the nephew of famous codebreaker Alan Turing - this illustrated account provides unique insight into the behind-the-scenes action at Bletchley Park. Discover how brilliant and eccentric individuals such as Dilly Knox, Alan Turing and Joan Clarke were recruited, the social life that grew up around the park, and how they dealt with the ever-present burden of secrecy. Including a foreword by Professor Christopher Andrew of Cambridge University, author of MI5's official history The Secret World , this book brings to life the stories of the men and women who toiled day and night to crack the seemingly unbreakable enigma code.
