About This Item
(Subject: Intelligence, Espionage, Reconnaissance & Electronic Warfare) In 1939 several hundred people reported to a Victorian Mansion in Buckinghamshire to be known as Station X, the Allies top secret centre for deciphering enemy codes. Their task was to break the Enigma cypher used for high level German communications. The people involved, from Alan Turing - father of the modern computer - to the operatives who intercepted the messages are all part of this history. The author interviewed many of those who worked there to build a picture of exactly what life was like in this chaotic and isolated environment. (Published: 1998) (Publisher: Channel 4 Books) (ISBN: 0752221892) (Pagination: 184pp, 20 b/w photos.) (Condition: Very good in d/w) UL-XXXXXX
