Seizing The Enigma by David Kahn
The Race to Break the German U-Boat Codes, 1939-1943
An account of the Allied campaign to break the German Navy’s Enigma, blending tales of perilous captures of codebooks and machines from U-boats with the painstaking cryptanalytic work at Bletchley Park. It traces Polish foundations, British innovations, and the tightrope of secrecy that sustained ULTRA, showing how intelligence gleaned from decrypted signals transformed the Battle of the Atlantic. Through naval raids, technological advances, and organizational brilliance, it reveals how codebreaking safeguarded convoys and undermined the U-boat threat, altering the course of the war at sea.
