Seizing the Enigma
By DAVID KAHN
Archival Summary & Scope
*Seizing the Enigma* chronicles the Royal Navy's desperate fight to break the German U-boat Enigma code, crucial to protecting Allied convoys from Dönitz's wolfpacks in the North Atlantic. This unparalleled intelligence operation unfolded on two fronts: brilliant minds like Alan Turing at Bletchley Park raced to crack the code, while daring sailors and intelligence officers, including future James Bond creator Ian Fleming, undertook perilous at-sea missions to seize vital Enigma machines and code keys from Kriegsmarine vessels. In this revised paperback edition, Kahn masterfully brings this high-stakes battle to life.Archival Categorization Notes
