Codebreakers: The Inside Story of Bletchley Park
I was actually disappointed in this book. I had previously read "Between Silk and Cyanide: A Codemaker's War," which dealt with the codes made and used by the British during WWII. I was hoping for a similar history of British code-breaking, and I had heard this was the classic book on the topic. This, however, is not a narrative history; instead, its a collection of essays written by codebreakers in Bletchley Park. The problem is, each author assumes that you have a great deal of prior knowledge - of the codes used, the history of the war, etc. Most of the explanations of the codes are completely indecipherable - although some of the Japanese codes are explained quite nicely. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this as a first book for someone interested in codebreaking during WWII.
