Acerca de esta escucha

"Turing writes on codebreaking with understandable authority and compelling panache." (Michael Smith, best-selling author of Station X)

The Enigma cipher was supposed to be the German's impenetrable defence for its military communications against prying eyes during World War II. All manner of secrets were entrusted to it. When the Allies finally managed to crack the code, it heralded a turning point in the war.

Written by Dermot Turing—the nephew of famous codebreaker Alan Turing—The Enigma Story reveals the efforts of the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, the machines called 'bombes' specially designed to break it, and the vast resources devoted in America to decrypting German messages. From the cloak-and-dagger heroics of men like Hans-Thilo Schmidt and Gustave Bertrand to the brilliant mathematical discoveries of men like Henryk Zygalski and Dilly Knox to the fraught decision-making of Allied High Command, the battle for the code was at the heart of the Allied victory in World War II.

This extraordinary tale of intrigue, ingenuity and courage brings to life the complete story of the Enigma in a lively and entertaining narrative.

I enjoy to read / learn about WWII. There definitely was a lot of context and historical drama related to the enigma machine. I had no idea how much, really. Overall, the story begins before the war with the Polish work and continues all the way through the war. Interesting how breaking the enigma may have jump started the development of computers.

Now I need to find a book about early cryptography.

If you like real stories and real history, give this a listen!
