Battle of Wits - The Complete Story of Codebreaking in World War II |
If it wasn't for the fact that my eyes glaze over at even the whiff of an equation, I could praise this book to the rafters. As it is any topic that relies so much on mathematics for its existence shouldn't take much notice of my own numero-phobic issues. Luckily behind every code there's a human story and there's more than enough examples of heroism, personality clashes and rivalry to keep you turning the pages! (Clive Yelf - bwl 50 March 2009) |
