| Synopsis: |
This title presents a lavishly illustrated and concise history of the codebreakers based deep in the English countryside at Bletchley Park (codename Station X) during the Second World War. These brilliant characters - mathematicians, linguists, chess champions and others - worked with military personnel with the aim of breaking the ingenious Enigma cypher, the backbone of German military intelligence. Station X remained a secret even after the war, and it was not until the 1970s that the truth about these silent heroes emerged. This is their story. |
