Seizing the Enigma tells the thrilling story of the Royal Navy's battle to crack the Germans' supposedly unbreakable U-boat Enigma code; which would allow the vital Allied convoys in the North Atlantic to be routed away from Dönitz's wolfpacks. This battle was fought both on shore and at sea: by an assortment of scientists; chess champions and linguists; including Alan Turing; the father of the modern computer; who struggled to crack Enigma at Bletchley Park; and in the Atlantic by sailors and intelligence officers; such as Ian Fleming; the future creator of James Bond; who undertook dangerous and often fatal missions to seize the essential encryption keys and Enigma machine components from Kriegsmarine surface ships and U-boats. Kahn expertly brings this unparalleled intelligence operation to life in this revised paperback edition of his classic book.

America's First Frogman - Draper Kauffman StoryBy B SeawrightI have recently been reading up on WWII and Vietnam Stories that have been written as close to the historical truth as possible. The Draper Kauffman story is a well written and a well timed story for me in my searches for the underlying truth as told by the men who were there as it happened.Getting to know who and how the Frogmen went from there to the Navy Seals is like finding a candle and then lighting it as you follow it from WWII to the present.It was a good read; and one that helped me see the natural order of events from tadpole to shark.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
