(Subject: Intelligence, Espionage, Reconnaissance & Electronic Warfare) Good in creased card covers. Pen marks on first two pages. In 1941 Britain stood alone against the unstoppable Nazi war machine. British and Polish codebreakers at Bletchley Park had broken the German Enigma cipher, but their staff and resources were small. In October 1941, leading codebreakers, including the outstanding Alan Turing, wrote to Winston Churchill asking for help. He ordered that they be given all they needed, adding the instruction: 'Action This Day'. It was to be a key turning point in the war. Their brilliant work is believed to have shortened it by up to two years. The authors, leading authorities on the work of Bletchley Park, have assembled a number of key writers to explain its importance in the history of codebreaking and the birth of today's computer age.

Hardback. The brilliant work carried out by British codebreakers based at Bletchley Park is now believed to have shortened the duration of World War II by up to two years. But during the dark days of 1941, as Britain stood almost alone against the apparently unstoppable tide of the Nazi war machine, this remarkable achievement seemed a million miles away. With the help of their Polish counterparts, the British codebreakers had broken the German Enigma machine cipher. But the resources on which they could call were so small that it seemed their achievements would be in vain. Without the necessary manpower, they would never be able to take full advantage of their ability to break the German codes and ciphers. In October 1941, four of the leading codebreakers, including the outstanding Alan Turing, wrote a letter to Winston Churchill asking for help. Reminding him that on a recent visit to Bletchley Park he had praised their work, they told him that it was being held up and in some cases not being done at all, principally because we cannot get sufficient staff to deal with it. 2001, First edition, first printing. A near fine copy only marked by age tanning of the pages. The d/w is unclipped and also near fine. Scans available if required. …
