`this splendid book, which is divided into four sections, tells of one of the most amazing feats in cryptologic history ... This is a remarkable book, undoubtedly the definitive work on Bletchley Park, with livley anecdotes and detailed stories giving a colourful account of BP's daily life and work, which made a major contribution to shortening the war, as Hinsley demonstrates in an astute analysis.'Cryptologia, January 1994
