Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Go behind the scenes of Bletchley Park, where everyday men and women risked everything for Queen and Country. A remarkable look at day-to-day life of the codebreakers whose clandestine efforts helped win World War II Bletchley Park looked like any other sprawling country estate. In reality, however, it was the top-secret headquarters of Britain’s Government Code and Cypher School—and the site where Germany’s legendary Enigma code was finally cracked. There, the nation’s most brilliant mathematical minds—including Alan Turing, whose discoveries at Bletchley would fuel the birth of modern computing—toiled alongside debutantes, factory workers, and students on projects of international importance. Until now, little has been revealed about ordinary life at this extraordinary facility. Drawing on remarkable first-hand interviews, The Secret Lives of Codebreakers reveals the entertainments, pastimes, and furtive romances that helped ease the incredible pressures faced by these covert operatives as they worked to turn the tide of World War II.

Download or read book Edward Thomas from Adlestrop to Arras written by Jean Moorcroft Wilson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-21 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the extraordinary life of a poetic genius. Along with Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, Edward Thomas is by any reckoning a major first world war poet. A war poet is not one who chooses to commemorate or celebrate a war, but one who reacts against having a war thrust upon him. His great friend Robert Frost wrote 'his poetry is so very brave, so unconsciously brave.' Apart from a most illuminating understanding of his poetry, Dr Wilson shows how Thomas' life alone makes for absorbing reading: his early marriage, his dependence on laudanum, his friendships with Joseph Conrad, Edward Garnett, Rupert Brooke and Hilaire Belloc among others. The novelist Eleanor Farjeon entered into a curious menage a trois with him and his wife. He died in France in 1917, on the first day of the Battle of Arras. This is the stuff of which myths are made and posterity has been quick to oblige. But this has tended to obscure his true worth as a writer, as Dr Wilson argues. Edward Thomas's poems were not published until some months after his death, but they have never since been out of print. Described by Ted Hughes as 'the father of us all', Thomas's distinctively modern sensibility is probably the one most in tune with our twenty-first century outlook. He occupies a crucial place in the development of twentieth century poetry.

Download or read book Code Name Caesar written by Jerome Preisler and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the waning days of World War II, a little-known battle took place under the frozen seas off the coast of Norway . . . and changed the course of the war. In February of 1944, Germany and Japan devised a desperate plan to escape defeat. The Germans would send Japan a submarine—boat U-864—packed with their most advanced rocket and jet aircraft technology. Japan could then reestablish air superiority in the Pacific, drawing the attention of Allied forces long enough for Germany to regroup. Meanwhile, British code breakers, working with the Norwegian underground, had discovered the plan. But even though they were unable to stop the submarine from embarking, the British submarine HMS Venturer was waiting for it at sea. In a cat-and-mouse battle beneath the waves, they hunted one another, each waiting to strike. The Venturer won the game, becoming the only submarine in history to sink another sub in underwater combat. This is the dramatic, action-packed account of one of the greatest unsung victories in military history, and of a historical moment in the annals of naval warfare.

Download or read book The South Country written by Edward Thomas and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-05-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Edward Thomas was originally published in 1909 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The South Country' is one of Thomas's works on the subject of nature. Philip Edward Thomas was born in Lambeth, London, England in 1878. His parents were Welsh migrants, and Thomas attended several schools, before ending up at St. Pauls. Thomas led a reclusive early life, and began writing as a teenager. He published his first book, The Woodland Life (1897), at the age of just nineteen. A year later, he won a history scholarship to Lincoln College, Oxford. Despite being less well-known than other World War I poets, Thomas is regarded by many critics as one of the finest.

Download or read book The Mahdi written by Lawrence Pipella and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-09-12 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mahdi, "The Expected One"represents the accumulation of events that had their beginning around 2000 B.C. during the time of Abraham. It is from this time the story unfolds. It is the start of two great peoples who through to the present day have become bitter enemies. Two brothers in competition for Gods favor, each wanting to destroy the other. Into this mix are the archaic systems of government in todays world. Feudalistic empires and their serf armies struggling to control world resources. The age of industrialization and the new rise of economic powers in once deprived nations like China and India have pushed the envelope of world domination. Colonial rulers running crumbling empires and moralists spreading their philosophy of living, religion, and government have added to the chaos. The nations of the world continue to escalate weapons development racing to join the Nuclear Club even though their own countries can little afford the costs of the race. Nations are forming alliances based on common interests both militarily and economically. Russia, China, and the Islamic world, the Tri-Pack, are being pushed together in a relationship of necessity. They are the odd puzzle pieces that dont fit in the world today. Out of this relationship will come a global power to be dealt with by the rest of the world. Sir McKinder wrote in 1919 of the World Island. Today that World Island is larger than the original World Island. Russia in time will reacquire her old empire. China will settle the Taiwan question by force, and eliminate the problem in North Korea allowing Korea to re-unite under the Chinese sphere-of-influence. Out of the World of Islam will rise a leader who will unite Islam under one banner. All of Africa, except South Africa, West Asia, South Asia, minus India, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, except Vietnam, East Asia, except Japan, and North Asia will comprise the New World Island. The loss of Africa is a result of negligence of the Western world their only interests being cheap Raw Resources for their economic empires. Africa in the equation was the pivotal piece, handled properly could have derailed the New World Island. Mexico, Central America, and South America are ripe for investments and relations with the Tri-Pack and could swing to the New World Island. Cuba, non-relations, has weakened the U.S. position. The use of the Monroe Doctrine and carrying a Big Stick has alienated this part of the world from the United States. Not long ago the President of Iran stated he is preparing the way for the arrival of The Mahdi, "The Expected One". The clock is ticking

Download or read book United States Diplomatic Codes and Ciphers 1775 1938 written by Ralph E. Weber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 835 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States Diplomatic Codes and Ciphers, 1775-1938 is the first basic reference work on American diplomatic cryptography. Weber's research in national and private archives in the Americas and Europe has uncovered more than one hundred codes and ciphers. Beginning with the American Revolution, these secret systems masked confidential diplomatic correspondence and reports.During the period between 1775 and 1938, both codes and ciphers were employed. Ciphers were frequently used for American diplomatic and military correspondence during the American Revolution. At that time, a system was popular among American statesmen whereby a common book, such as a specific dictionary,was used by two correspondents who encoded each word in a message with three numbers. In this system, the first number indicated the page of the book, the second the line in the book, and the third the position of the plain text word on that line counting from the left. Codes provided the most common secret language basis for the entire nineteenth century.Ralph Weber describes in eight chapters the development of American cryptographic practice. The codes and ciphers published in the text and appendix will enable historians and others to read secret State Department dispatches before 1876, and explain code designs after that year.
