Reviews
This complements Bennett's fine Ultra in the West ( LJ 10/15/80), adding rich detail on how decrypted German messages (called Ultra) aided in Allied World War II victory in Europe. Specialists and scholars will find useful the applications of Ultra in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and Yugoslavia, and interesting his challenge of Correlli Barnett's rating of North African generals in Desert Generals: New Edition ( Indiana Univ. Pr., 1982). Bennett holds that knowing the full importance of Ultra is impossible, for those who made decisions based on it are now dead, or their memories have dimmed with time. In fact , Ultra's role was not revealed until F.W. Winterbotham's The Ultra Secret was published in 1974 ( LJ 2/1/75).
