Publisher's Summary:
The breaking of the Enigma machine is one of the most heroic stories of the Second World War and highlights the crucial work of the codebreakers of Bletchley Park, which prevented Britain's certain defeat in 1941. But there was another German cipher machine, used by Hitler himself to convey messages to his top generals in the field. A machine more complex and secure than Enigma. A machine that could never be broken.
For 60 years no one knew about Lorenz or 'Tunny', or the determined group of men who finally broke the code and thus changed the course of the war. Many of them went to their deaths without anyone knowing of their achievements. Here, for the first time, senior codebreaker Captain Jerry Roberts tells the complete story of this extraordinary feat of intellect and of his struggle to get his wartime colleagues the recognition they deserve.
The work carried out at Bletchley Park during the war to partially automate the process of breaking Lorenz, which had previously been done entirely by hand, was groundbreaking and is recognised as having kick-started the modern computer age.

We all know about the Enigma but not much is known about Lorenz. I am glad to see Jerry Robert's book in print and to learn about the extraordinary, determined struggle Roberts and his men had to finally break the code and change the course of the war. I love the look, style and feel of the book, the pages are crisp, the cover well thought out. A great read.
Mostly good
The book seemed to be much more people and personality oriented than machine inner-workings revealing, but still a good read.
One Star
Poorly written about a man obseesed about his own recognition
