Publisher's Summary
The untold story of Bletchley Park's key role in the success of the Normandy campaign
Since the secret of Bletchley Park was revealed in the 1970s, the work of its codebreakers has become one of the most famous stories of the Second World War. But cracking the Nazis' codes was only the start of the process. Thousands of secret intelligence workers were then involved in making crucial information available to the Allied leaders and commanders who desperately needed it.
Using previously classified documents, David Kenyon casts the work of Bletchley Park in a new light, as not just a codebreaking establishment but as a fully developed intelligence agency. He shows how preparations for the war's turning point - the Normandy landings in 1944 - had started at Bletchley years earlier, in 1942, with the careful collation of information extracted from enemy signals traffic. This account reveals the true character of Bletchley's vital contribution to success in Normandy and, ultimately, Allied victory.

Enigma
A thoroughly interesting and fascinating story which fills in some of the many blanks, and misunderstandings about the roles and functions of Bletchley Park.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and especially as it provided the background and application of the code breaking efforts as they impacted and influenced the DDay landings. It also gave the German perspective on and background on the use of codes, and intelligence approaches.
I’d certainly listen to this one again ;-D

Good story spoiled by the narration
I wanted to learn more about Bletchley, so I persevered but it was painful. The story was good but the book was “read” rather then “narrated”. I certainly did not find myself drawn into the story. This is the first time I have come across it in a audiobook and I hate to say it, but the narrator sounded “common” and a high pitched voice did not help.
