Sir Francis Harry Hinsley OBE (26 November 1918 - 16 February 1998) was a historian and cryptanalyst. He worked at Bletchley Park during the WWII and wrote widely on the history of international relations and British Intelligence during the WWII. Hinsley helped initiate a programme of seizing Enigma machines and keys from German weather ships, such as the Lauenburg, thereby facilitating Bletchley Park's resumption of breaking of German Naval Enigma. Hinsley produced, with others, the multi-volume official history British Intelligence in the Second World War, and argued that Enigma decryption speeded Allied victory by 1-4 years while not altering the war's outcome. This second part of Volume 3 assesses the intelligence that was available before and during the Normandy landings, the fighting on the Russian fronts and in Yugoslavia, the war in the Mediterranean, U-boat warfare, the war in the air and the V-weapons offensives. Volume 3 is above all else concerned with the influence exerted by intelligence on the decision making process. It illustrated in fascinating detail the several layers and directions of intelligence, from the wrestling of information from the enemy to the point where the distilled and evaluated information was presented to political leaders and military commanders. This Official History will be the standard authority on this fascinating subject for many years to come. Presumed First U.S. Edition, First printing.

London and New York: Her Majesty's Stationery Office and Cambridge University Press, 1979, 1981, 1984, 1988, . "British Intelligence in the Second World War provides the only reliable account yet published - or ever likely to be published - of the part played by British Intelligence in allied strategy and operations in the Second World War." This is a massive, authoritative gathering of information. These first three volumes of the series described the intelligence channels that gave the Allies their incomparable insight into enemy capabilities and intentions. Two more volumes covering security within the UK and Nazi activities, were published in 1990. Because publication dates were spread over a decade, these first three volumes (the third volume is in two parts) are hardly ever found together, with only individual volumes being listed on the internet in the $50-$100 range. All first editions, all very good - fine condition in very good dust jackets. 24.5 cm. xiii, 601; xvi, 850; xv, 698; xvi, 1038 pp. folding b/w and color maps, tables and plans. Postage at cost on this multi-volume set.
