`The value of this book is that it is the first - and probably the last given that nobody who worked at Bletchley is now under 65 - authentic account written by the men and women who broke the coded signals of Germany, Italy and Japan between 1939 and 1945. ... fascinating book ... A remarkable story, excellently illustrated.'Legion, Nov/Dec 1993
