I LOVED this book! It gets way too dry and technical at times, it is really long of course....but the snarky author charmed his way into my reading time, I read this book and this book only for about 2 weeks. And I was sad when I finished it! The story is remarkable and very mysterious, the way he keeps it going no less so.

An immensely enthralling, readable and engaging account of the work of the Special Operations Executive's Code Department during WW2. Sometimes it was almost unbearably moving.

Just when you're convinced that the British were absolute masters of espionage and deception during WWII, read this book for an insider's account of Special Operations Executive, including a few examples of tragically bungled operations. Entertaining and informative.
