Publisher's Summary
For almost four desperate years, between 1939 and 1943, British and American navies fought a savage, losing battle against German submarine wolf packs. The Allies might never have turned the tide of that historic battle without an intelligence coup. The race to break the German U-boat codes is one of the last great untold stories of World War II.
David Kahn, the world’s leading historian of cryptology, brings to life this tense, behind-the-scenes drama for the first time. Seizing the Enigma provides the definitive account of how British and American code breakers fought a war of wits against Nazi naval communications and helped lead the Allies to victory in the crucial Battle of the Atlantic.

Good read, told at a good speed.
The most annoying part is the review process not letting you leave till it’s done

dry but solid
This book is really for history buffs
The audio performance is the tone of a teacher giving a lecture, but that has more to do with the material than the narrator
I enjoyed it, but its a technical book

absorbing story.
A complete history of the breaking of the enigma code. although at a high level rather than concentrating to much on individuals. I found the capturing of a particular enigma machine from a sinking u boat fascinating
