[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars This book by Group Captain Winterbotham was first published in 1974 and provided the detail of how the highly classified decrypted signals sent by the Germans during WWII and dubbed Top Secret Ultra or just Ultra, were used. Even after 50 years the book reveals to modern generations the details of some of the highly publicised battles of that conflict were orchestrated by the Allies, in such a way that the enemy did not realise that their codes had been broken. Much has been written and filmed about the code breakers of Bletchley Park but this book takes us to the employment and application of the Ultra signals and message content. Winterbotham concludes that the War's outcome "was, in fact, a very narrow shave, and the reader may like to ponder [...] whether or not we might have won had we not had Ultra" A fascinating book that enhances our understanding of the major operations conducted during WWII and of the man who was responsible for managing the Ultra..
