Review
... because of its intense secrecy, the work of the men and women at Bletchley received no public recognition for many years after the war, and many of those who made important contributions are no longer alive.This volume of personal recollections by some 30 of the survivors is ... especially welcome. Conditions of life and work at Bletchley, and its principal achievements, are faithfully sampled in Codebreakers, which is worth reading both for its historical interest and for the sidelights it throws on the problems encountered in the rapid assembly and organization of one of the greatest collections of talent that has ever occurred in Western civilization. (Nature)
This unique volume will be of great interest to cryptologists in particular, and intelligence buffs in general. (Surveillant)
While some of the chapters are so technical that Stella Rimmington would struggle to unscramble them, one still gets a strong sense of the excitement and frustrations of a war fought on the airwaves. (Daily Telegraph)
the anecdotal material is fascinating in the insight it gives into everyday life at the institution. (Sunday Times)
Hinsley and Stripp have assembled 30 reminiscers - most geniuses, a few slaves, all highly informative. (Robin Blake, Independent on Sunday)
it is a remarkable tribute to the men and women who worked to crack the Germans' Enigma code. (David Hall,Oxford Times)
The most interesting thing about this collection of essays is the light it throws on the personalities concerned. (Times Higher Education Supplement)
These essays on the diverse activities at Bletchley Park (which remained secret until the 1970s) are enthralling. (The Observer)
What makes Codebreakers so absorbing is that it has been written by the men and women who worked at Bletchley Park, all of whom were forbidden to talk about their work at the time. Codebreakers gives a fascinating insight into their daily lives. (Madeleine Burton, Hitchin Gazette)
