Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

For thirty years, they carried a secret they were forbidden to tell, not even to their own husbands and wives.

What you're about to discover will change how you see the Second World War.

Fifty miles outside London, a hidden mansion held the fate of a nation. Inside its wooden huts, an unlikely army of mathematicians, chess champions, crossword enthusiasts, and a marine biologist recruited by pure clerical accident, took on a machine the Nazis swore could never be broken. Enigma scrambled every German military secret into nonsense. Breaking it seemed mathematically impossible. They did it anyway.

Few people know that a girlfriend's initials, a cowboy film star's name, and Hitler's own signature helped hand the Allies their enemy's secrets.

This is the true story of the codebreakers who read Rommel's desert plans before his own troops did, who watched helplessly as losing Crete became the price of protecting their secret, who built the world's first programmable computer in total secrecy, and whose work is now estimated to have shortened the war by two years, saving countless lives in the process.

The hidden truth behind D-Day's success, the tragedy of Alan Turing's fate, and the machines smashed and buried on Churchill's own orders are all waiting inside these pages.

Why this book matters: because history nearly forgot the people who may have done more to win the war than almost anyone who held a weapon.

What you'll gain: a vivid, character driven journey through espionage, sacrifice, brilliance, and thirty years of unbroken silence.

Who this is for: readers of true World War Two history, anyone fascinated by espionage and codebreaking, and anyone who believes ordinary people are capable of extraordinary things.

Their silence protected a secret worth more than any weapon. Their story deserves to finally be told.
