description:  *World War II code-breaking is an increasingly popular topic  *Draws on previously unpublished sources--like the CIA and Army Intelligence Corps archives  *Illustrated with secret maps and rare archive photographs  With more secrets and intrigue than a James Bond film, this historical book chronicles World War II's undercover war--the one fought off the battlefields by code breakers. Readers will find vivid first-hand accounts from American secret agents, French and Dutch resistance fighters and other key players about the pivotal role of codes in the war. It's a page-turning look at everything from getting into the mind of enemy code breakers to the early development of the computer. This title exposes how the war was really won!
