Anotácia knihy

Over the years, early accounts of the codebreaking work undertaken at Bletchley Park during the Second World War contained many factual errors. This was only natural: many of the authors of these accounts were veterans who did not have access to official records. They had to rely solely on their own recollection of events that had transpired more than thirty years prior. As rules were relaxed, more Bletchley Park veterans wrote their own accounts. Some historians documenting the history of British intelligence during World War II repeated some of the more apocryphal stories. These gradually became part of the mythology surrounding Bletchley Park in print media, as well as in both stage and film productions on the subject over the years - until now. In Alan Turing and the Enigma Code: Secrets, Lies and Myths of Bletchley Park in World War II, Joel Greenberg has handpicked twenty of the most common myths associated with Bletchley Park during World War II (for example, the myth that thousands of pigeons were used at Bletchley Park to carry secret messages to British forces in France). In incredible detail, the origin of each myth is described, alongside the inaccuracies, secrets and sometimes even lies that have sustained it over the years, before revealing the truth behind each one. This is a wholly unique look at Bletchley Park: no other book on the subject tells its story in this way, and it will be of great interest to anyone interested in the world of intelligence work carried out during World War II.
