WWII Codebreakers and Spies: How British Intelligence & Special Operations Changed the Course of History (Y) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Find out the astonishing story of how Britain's intelligence operatives, experts, and special operations teams contributed to the Allies’ victory in the Second World War.
The Bletchley Park codebreakers who solved the German Enigma cipher cut the length of the war by an estimated two years, while the Double Cross system, in which German secret agents were “turned” by the British to feed their Nazi agent-runners with false information, ensured the success of the D-Day landings. Not only does WWII Codebreakers and Spies reveal new details about these remarkable operations, it also tells the compelling tale of how MI6 transformed the disaster of lost networks across Europe into triumph. The stories range from extraordinarily courageous to bizarre, with desperation driving the intelligence services to recruit astrologers and even a stage magician to help retrieve intelligence and allied aircrew from Nazi-occupied Europe. The book includes reproductions of painstakingly researched and rare documents from the archives of MI5, MI6, SOE, and Bletchley Park, as well as a letter from James Bond author Ian Fleming to the Chief of Naval Intelligence. Historian Michael Smith thrillingly recounts the daring and often moving lives of the heroes and heroines who risked their lives for victory.
