Re: Book review: Codebreakers, the Inside Story of Bletchley Park
Another book that has not been mentioned is "Alan Turing the Enigma" by
Andrew Hodges. It gives, what I think, is a good analysis of Turing's
work, alot of which is still classified, what role Hut 6 played (theater
traffic analysis, bombe development, and other projects after Hut 6) , and
his subquent role in the development computing.
Hodges does a good job of putting Turing in historical and
mathematical/cryptological perspective.
Alas, like some of the books that are sugguested, it is recently out of
print ( look for it in the remainder/used book stores).
