4.5 stars. This is fascinating. Dense, but quite readable. The sections which earnestly try to explain exactly how the Enigma machine works, complete with wiring diagrams, did not completely succeed for me - nor did all of the explanations of code breaking techniques. (There are appendices with even more detailed information.) But I get the basic idea, which is more than sufficient for me to be impressed with the extraordinary efforts of these men and women.
The organization is perhaps a little weak. The book is not strictly chronological, and it bounces between the American and European (mostly British) efforts. The stories sometime seem like random anecdotes. It's all so interesting, though, that it's not too bothersome.
I like the title "Battle of Wits", but the subtitle is a bit silly, since a 400 page book, no matter how densely written, certainly can't be the "complete" story of codebreaking in WWII.
