jazzy_daveMichael Smith "Station X : The Codebreakers of Bletchley Park" (Channel 4 Books)
A gripping but very readable introduction to the rarefied secret world of the codebreakers of Bletchley Park and their incredibly important work.
This very personal narrative of the people and events of that amazing operation was a great look at both the scale of the challenge and the powerful role that literally thousands of people made in this critical operation that may well have affected the outcome of the war. At the very least, Bletchley shorted the war hugely, and the team and the organization -- oh so terribly British!
