- Read "Turing - The Enigma" for a biography of Turing and a general
- discussion of life and work at Bletchley Park. "Ultra Goes to War"
- and "The Ultra Secret" discuss the military implications. If you can
- find it, "Modern Machine Cryptography" describes exactly how the work
- at Bletchley Park was done, with photos of the gear and BASIC programs
- so you can simulate a bombe. I've heard that a bombe has been shown
- at the Smithsonian (it may be in storage at the moment; they have far
- more stuff than museum space).
-
- Also check out the new book "The Ultra-Magic Deals and the Most
- Secret Special Relationship, 1940-1946" by Bradley F. Smith.
- It's about the US-UK cooperation and its postwar implications.
- I just got this book, haven't read it yet but it looks quite good.
