I haven't much to say about this book because I know I'm unable to finish it. The subject is compelling and interesting. The root cause of my lack of enthusiasm for this volume is two-fold. 1) I've read a lot more than one other book on the topic of Enigma and the personalities who worked at Bletchley Park. 2) All of them were better written than this one. If you are a devotee of the subject, Welchman's extremely detailed but poorly constructed and rather dull narrative of this point and incident of the history of WWII may be your cup of tea. After all, he probably was the biggest mind and greatest hero for his dam-breaking thinking and solutions to the enigma of Enigma. Just not as well know as Turing probably because of the conventionality of his personality, a personality that is not enlivened on the pages of his memoir. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Now, for the first time, the insider?s view of the Enigma story and other clandestine operations is revealed by Gordon Welchman, a top British mathematician who was largely responsible for the crucial achievements at Bletchley Park in the first months of the war"--Jacket.

After reading other books on the topic and era you may find that Welchman may have had a problem with humility. ( )
