Even Winston Churchill, himself a great advocate of Britain's cryptologic program, purposefully minimized their achievements in his history books. Now, though, after decades have passed, the true scope of the British and American cryptographers' role in the war has come to light. It was a role key to the Allied victory. From the Battle of Britain to the Pacific front to the panzer divisions in Africa, superior cryptography gave the Allies a decisive advantage over the Axis generals. Military intelligence made a significant difference in battle after battle. In Codebreakers' Victory, veteran cryptographer Hervie Haufler takes readers behind the scenes in this fascinating underground world of ciphers and decoders. This broad view represents the first comprehensive account of codebreaking during World War I. Haufler pulls together years of research, exclusive access to top secret files, and personal interviews to craft a captivating must-read for anyone interested in the behind-the-front intellect and perseverance that went into beating the Nazis and Japan. Hervie Haufler is a veteran of World War I. He participated in both the British and the US codebreaking task forces. While preparing the manuscripts for his two nonfiction titles, Codebreakers' Victory: How the Allied Crytographers Won World War I and The Spies Who Never Were: The True Story of the Nazi Spies Who Were Actually Allied Double Agents, he researched thoroughly in the public archives on his subjects and conducted interviews with other veterans of the programs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50378886709521,"sku":"CIN1497638151G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030349512977,"sku":"NIN9781497638150","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51329809449233,"sku":"CIN1497638151VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1497638151.jpg?v=1751211242"},{"product_id":"spies-who-never-were-book-hervie-haufler-9781497638167","title":"The Spies Who Never Were","description":"After the fall of France in the mid-1940s, German Chancellor Adolf Hitler faced a British Empire that refused to negotiate for peace. Full-scale war loomed and Hitler ordered the Abwehr, Germany's defense and intelligence organization, to carry out Operation Lena, a program to place information-gathering spies within Britain. Quickly, a network of secret agents spread within the United Kingdom and across the British Empire. A master of disguises, a professional safecracker, a scrubwoman, a diplomat's daughter-they all reported news of the Allied defenses and strategies back to their German spymasters. One Yugoslav playboy codenamed Tricycle infiltrated the highest echelon of British society and is said to have been Ian Fleming's model for James Bond. The true irony, though, is that every last one of these German spies had been captured and turned by the British. As double agents, they sent a canny mix of truth and misinformation back to Hitler, all carefully controlled by the Allies. As one British report put it: By means of the double agent system, we actually ran and controlled the German espionage system in this country. In The Spies Who Never Were, World War I veteran cryptographer Hervie Haufler brings you the true story of these double agents and their deceptions. This richly woven, fascinating account lays out both the worldwide machinations and the personal clashes that went into the greatest deception in the history of warfare.
