This fast-moving blend of modern history and popular science is told through colorful personal accounts of the Germans at the heart of the story, including a former astronomer who worked out the British order of battle in 1940; a U-Boat commander on the front line of the Battle of the Atlantic; and the woman from the foreign ministry decrypting Japanese and Italian signals. It investigates how and why a regime as technologically advanced as the Third Reich both succeeded, and failed, in its battle to break their enemy`s codes and to use the resultant intelligence effectively, and why they failed to recognize the fact that the Allies had cracked the enigma code.
