Summary: A Timely Overview by Thorough Professionals
Comment: I recommend this multiauthored text to everyone interested in the history of code breaking immediately prior to and during WW II. Numerous books on the technical aspects of the efforts to solve Enigma have been published. This volume goes beyond the technical issues and explores in considerable detail issues of security which impacted on cooperative efforts between the American and British code breakers. In addition it provides a fascinating view of the concurrent activities by the Germans and Japanese authorities which convinced our enemies, at the time, that their codes were not being read. One chapter contrasts the release of information from US and British archives and in doing so provides an insight into cultural differences between the two groups. I found the references for almost all the articles to be extremely interesting and quite revealing of the wealth of information which is yet to be evaluated and digested by competent historians.
