Summary:
"In public life, Dr. Winthrop Bell of Halifax was a Harvard philosophy professor and wealthy businessman. As MI6 secret agent A12, he evaded gunfire and shook off pursuers to break open the emerging Nazi conspiracy in 1919 Berlin. His reports, the first warning of the Nazi plot for WWII, went directly to the man known as C, the mysterious founder of MI6, and to prime ministers. Even though a powerful fascist politician quietly worked to suppress his alerts his intelligence sabotaged the Nazis in ways only now revealed. Bell became a spy once again when the Nazis seized power in Germany. In 1939, he was the first to crack Hitler's deadliest secret code: the Holocaust. At that time, the führer was a popular politician who said he wanted peace. Could anyone believe Bell's shocking warning? Fighting an epic intelligence war from Ukraine, Russia and Poland to France, Germany, Canada and Washington, DC, agent A12 was the real-life 007, waging a single-handed fight against madmen bent on destroying the world. Without Bell's astounding courage, the Nazis might just have won the war. Informed by recently declassified documents, 'Cracking the Nazi Code' is the first book to illuminate the astounding exploits of Winthrop Bell, agent A12."--Jacket.
