Geniuses at war : Bletchley Park, Colossus, and the dawn of the digital age / David A. Price. by Price, David A. (David Andrew), 1961- Alfred A. Knopf, c2021. Call #: 940.5486 P945g Subjects Cryptography -- Great Britain -- History -- 20th century.   Lorenz cipher system.   World War, 1939-1945 -- Electronic intelligence -- Great Britain.   Bletchley Park (Milton Keynes, England) -- History -- 20th century. ISBN:  9780525521549 (hc.) Alternate title:  Bletchley Park, Colossus, and the dawn of the digital age Description:  243 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  "A Borzoi book." Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Planning the invasion of Normandy, the Allies knew that decoding the communications of the Nazi high command was essential for its success. But standing in their way was a German encryption machine known as Tunny (British English for 'tuna'), which was vastly more difficult to crack than the infamous Enigma. To surmount this seemingly impossible challenge, Alan Turing, the Enigma codebreaker, brought in a maverick English working-class engineer named Tommy Flowers who devised the ingenious, daring, and controversial plan to build a machine that would calculate at breathtaking speed and break the code in nearly real time. Flowers and his team produced -- against the odds, the clock, and a resistant leadership -- Colossus, the world’s first digital electronic computer and the machine that would help bring the war to an end. 'Geniuses at war' tells in full, for the first time, the mesmerizing story of the great minds behind Colossus and chronicles the remarkable feats of engineering genius that marked the dawn of the digital age."--From publisher.
