"This was an in depth look at the Enigma machine used by the Germans in WWII. There are detailed explanations about the workings of the machine, the struggles with breaking the code and the means for obtaining more information and parts. The author does a good job describing the people involved and the reader comes away with an appreciation of the magnitude of the task of the code breakers."
"This book puts more focus on the stories of how some of the tools that helped break the cipher were obtained; which ciphers could be broken when and what the effects were; and the players in the Battle for the Atlantic than the Kozaczuk book does. As a result, it comes across as being written to appeal to U-Boat enthusiasts rather than to geeks. It's well-researched with much information obtained in firsthand interviews. It also seems to be more objective than some in explaining the many accomplishments that contributed to the deciphering of the Naval Enigma and assigning credit for them. A good history."
