Codebreakers of Bletchley Park, Dermot Turing

Descriere

At Bletchley Park, some of Britain's most talented mathematicians, linguists, and intellectuals assembled to break the Nazi codes. Kept secret for nearly thirty years, we have now come to realize the crucial role these codebreakers played in the Allied victory in World War II. Featuring the recruitment of such brilliant and eccentric individuals as Dilly Knox, Alan Turing, Gordon Welchman, John Tiltman, and Joan Clarke, the social life that grew up around the park, and the ever-present burden of secrecy, The Codebreakers of Bletchley Park provides a perceptive account of one of the most important endeavors of World War II. This edition features a foreword by Professor Christopher Andrew of Cambridge University, the author of MI5's official history, The Secret World. Through deep research and a uniquely personal connection to Bletchley Park, Dermot Turing brings to life the stories of the men and women who toiled day and night to crack the seemingly unbreakable enigma code.
