À propos de cet audio
For almost four desperate years, between 1939 and 1943, British and American navies fought a savage, losing battle against German submarine wolf packs. The Allies might never have turned the tide of that historic battle without an intelligence coup. The race to break the German U-boat codes is one of the last great untold stories of World War II.
David Kahn, the world’s leading historian of cryptology, brings to life this tense, behind-the-scenes drama for the first time. Seizing the Enigma provides the definitive account of how British and American code breakers fought a war of wits against Nazi naval communications and helped lead the Allies to victory in the crucial Battle of the Atlantic.

Very detailed account of Enigma's Development
I found this fascinating because it personalized the story. I did take a break from reading to learn from other sources how it worked including online simulation. well worth five stars.

Super interesting
I have wanted to know more about Enigma and cracking the codes during WWII, but this book was not what I expected. Like most things, there is a lot more to the story than appears at first glance! I expected for the focus to be in Bletchley Park, where all the codebreakers were… instead, it was mostly set at sea, aboard ships and submarines. It was through these battles that the Allies were able to literally seize an Enigma machine, and ultimately all the related devices and keys needed to operate them. It went beyond equipment, as they tried to turn up code books and important papers in office quarters, and even the pockets of newly captured prisoners of war. This was all the stuff Bletchley needed to do their work. As a result, there was more about battles than usually interests me, so my wind would wander, and I missed some details. The narration wasn’t terrible, but I wish it had kept my attention more. Plenty of detail here for those who want to understand the actual devices and codes.
