Seizing the Enigma tells the story of one of the great dramas of
World War II. A multinational corps of cryptologists struggled to
break the German U-boat codes that were helping Nazi submarine
wolfpacks tear at the lifeline between America and Britain. But
these codebreakers realised that German messages could not be read
without obtaining the encryption keys from the ships that held
them. Several daring captures at sea of critical documents and
encryption machines by the Royal Navy finally led to mastering the
U-boat codes. Kahn begins his narrative with the creation of the
Enigma machine in 1918 and its refinement during the two decades
leading up to World War II. He introduces key figures on both sides
of the battle including: Arthur Scherbius, who gave the Germans a
boost in the race between codemaker and codebreaker and Polish
mathematician Marian Rejewski, who reconstructed the Enigma keys.
Since its original publication in 1961, Seizing the Enigma has
remained a vital source of information about Enigma and the art of
codebreaking.
