Second World War code-breaking turned on its head - the aces were German and the British were too weak for words.

Everyone knows the story of Enigma and code-breaking in the Second World War. Ace code-breakers from the previous war form the nucleus of a secret operation which achieves the impossible: obtaining war-winning intelligence from the enemy's secret codes. But here the code-breakers are German and the weak enemy codes are the Allies', who have no idea what is happening. What is more, the German Enigma cipher is the strongest in the world.

He spent his career in the legal profession after graduating from Cambridge and Oxford, and is a trustee of Bletchley Park.
