In reality, however, it was the top-secret headquarters of Britain's Government Code and Cypher School--and the site where Germany's legendary Enigma code was finally cracked. There, the nation's most brilliant mathematical minds--including Alan Turing, whose discoveries at Bletchley would fuel the birth of modern computing--toiled alongside debutantes, factory workers, and students on projects of international importance. Until now, little has been revealed about ordinary life at this extraordinary facility. Drawing on remarkable first-hand interviews, \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Lives of Codebreakers\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the entertainments, pastimes, and furtive romances that helped ease the incredible pressures faced by these covert operatives as they worked to turn the tide of World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sinclair McKay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0452298717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452298712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plume Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2012 pg. 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2012 pg. 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/28\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/07\/2013","brand":"Sinclair McKay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047966765311,"sku":"9780452298712","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b25c392-1eb9-47e4-850f-d9df12664108.jpg?v=1684993155","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-secret-lives-of-codebreakers-sinclair-mckay-9780452298712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
