The supreme value of Ultra intelligence, information derived from decrypting the radio traffic of the German armed forces, is now generally recognized, but it is still imperfectly understood. In virtue of Ultra, no statesman or general has ever known so much about the enemies intentions before deciding on his own actions as Churchill, Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Montgomery. In this book the author of "Ultra in the West" analyzes Ultra's contribution to the struggle for the Mediterranean. It provides a primary interpretation of World War II history, and will be as appealing to the professional historian and intelligence expert as to the layman. Ralph Bennett was drafted into the Ultra-producing department at Bletchley Park, and served there for over four years. He has also written many books on medieval history.
