Items related to Ultra Goes to War: The Secret Story
Ultra was the code name for the war-winning secret that did not emerge for 30 years. This is the classic account of how, during the Second World War, the Allies intercepted German radio transmissions, broke their codes and transmitted the information to the battlefield and crucially to the wastes of the North Atlantic. In preparing this book the author consulted thousands of previously top secret Ultra intercepts.

Synopsis:
Ultra was the code word for the method by which the Allies intercepted the German radio transmissions and broke their coded contents during World War II. The author, himself a former field artilery officer with the Eighth Army from Alamein to Tunisia and then from Normandy to the end of the war in Germany, was the first historian to utilize Ultra intercepts to show how the information was used in combat. He was also the first historian to have interviewed the men, both British and American, who produced and used Ultra intercepts in the key positions of leadership throughout the war. The book highlights how Ultra helped to win the Battle of Britain and how its proper use might have prevented the Battle of the Bulge and the Allied defeat at Arnhem. Included too is a documented account of the destruction of Coventry, the reason for the American defeat at the Kasserine Pass and an account of how convoys carrying strategic war supplies to our Allies were decimated because the Germans had broken the Admiralty codes. Other works by Ronald Lewin include "Slim the Standard-Bearer", "The Life and Death of the Afrika Korps" and "Churchill as Warlord".
