Overview
"In 1939, the first of what would be several thousand students, professors, linguists, mathematicians, military officers, chess players of international repute, actresses, and debutantes quietly reported to a Victorian mansion called Bletchley Park, in Buckinghamshire, outside of London. This workplace became "Station X," the Allies' top-secret center for deciphering enemy codes." "In Studio X, former intelligence officer Michael Smith tells the true story of the amazing achievements of the codebreakers working at Bletchley Park during the Second World War, arguably the most successful intelligence operation in history. The primary, daunting task for this talented group was to break the Nazis' Enigma cipher, used by the German forces for their high-level communications. The setting for the Enigma machines changed continually, and Hitler's operators had 159 quintillion (159 followed by 18 zeroes) possibilities from which to choose." "Station X also tells the behind-the-scenes, personal stories of all those involved in this heroic undertaking, including such leading codebreakers as Alan Turing, father of the modern computer."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
