Enigma

By Hugh Sebag-Montefiore

Hugh Sebag-Montefiore's *Enigma* delivers the complete, untold story of the Allied breaking of Germany's Enigma Code in World War II—a triumph Winston Churchill called "the secret weapon that won the war." Based on recently declassified documents and vivid firsthand accounts, this authoritative work unveils astonishing new details. Sebag-Montefiore reveals the harrowing exploits of British and American agents who risked their lives for vital codebooks, the code's origins, Poland's pivotal role in its initial decryption, and the intense intellectual race at Bletchley Park. This deeply researched account illuminates the full, fascinating truth behind the decryption that changed history.
