Reviews

For sixty years no one knew what Lorenz or 'Tunny' was, or who the men were who broke the code and changed the course of war. Captain Jerry Roberts, a humble man and senior codebreaker at Bletchley during WWII, awarded the MBE in 2013, and his team deciphered Hitler's most secret messages, providing vital information for the operations both before and after D-Day. Their achievement was groundbreaking, unimaginable. Everyone made their contribution, whether big or small, in the breaking of Lorenz, and England counted itself lucky to have such brilliant people in the right place at the right time. Many went to their death not knowing what part they played in winning the war. Lorenz is part of British history and a fascinating read.
