Amazing story of little known important work
Revisado: 05-08-24
When I began listening to the audio version of this story, I expected it to be historical fiction and was surprised to find that it is a very accurate story about a number of dedicated men and a few women who worked under the radar to develop and utilize a clever system crucial to the history of American cryptology. Since I had worked in Maryland myself in this field some years back, I was captivated with all the detail that was so fascinating and is now unclassified so that we all might learn of it. The story was very well written and entertaining, and it was greatly enhanced in this Audible version read by Joseph Courtemanche. There were many details that might have been confusing to the general reader (military and cryptologic acronyms), but these did not detract from the story and actually made it more real for the educated reader. It was not just an historical recitation at all, though, since the actual story was both compelling and even heartbreaking at times. Kudos to the author for all the research it must have entailed and the manner in which he put the story together…and also to the excellent reader for using just the right cadence and feeling in his telling us this incredible tale!
