Dermot Turing on his book “Enigma Traitors: The Struggle to Lose the Cipher War”
Everyone knows the story of Enigma and secret codebreaking in the Second World War: the triumph of Bletchley Park over world-class cipher technology. Except that excellence in codebreaking was nearly betrayed by incompetence in codemaking.
From the very outset, the Enigma secret was one of treachery, betrayal and deception. This is the story of the people who fought behind the scenes for cipher security – and of the Enigma traitors.
In the series:
Apr. 14: with Rory Cormac on “Crown, Cloak & Dagger”
May 26: with Dermot Turing on “Enigma Traitors: The Struggle to Lose the Cipher War”
July 21: with Philippa Langley on The Princes in the Tower: Solving History’s Greatest Cold Case **Changed from May 12**
