Ken Ringle"The Washington Post"A welcome and powerfully affecting
chapter of World War II history, and a very human story of the most
clandestine and cerebral art of making war.
Martin ScorseseA mesmerizing account of World War II as fought on
the home front in Great Britain by the ingenious codemakers whose
work determined the life and death of the Allied agents in occupied
Europe. Leo Marks, a brilliant cryptographer, is a masterful and
passionate storyteller. I was immediately swept into his secret
world of codes and "undecipherables," trying at times (without
success) to unravel the puzzles myself, and found it difficult to
put down the book until the drama had come to an end.
Richard Bernstein"The New York Times"An enthralling book, one full
of an eccentric charm as well as fascinating, previously
undisclosed details of the secret war waged in the occupied
countries.
