Based on newly declassified documents, this is the first complete story of Allied code-breaking in World War II - the compelling tale of codebreaking's golden age.Drawing on literally thousands of previously unseen files, Budiansky provides lucid explanations of how the most impenetrable of Axis codes were actually broken - including the German Enigma and Japanese 'Purple' machines - and traces the origins of the top-secret project, codenamed Venona, that broke the Soviet spy codes in one of the most cryptanalytic feats of all time.
