During World War II the United States and Great Britain signed secret pacts agreeing to merge the code and cipher-breaking (cryptanalytic) operations they were directing against Nazi Germany, Italy and Japan. This partnership was unique: never before had countries revealed their intelligence methods and results even to their closest allies. The budding relationship was hampered by rivalries, doubts and suspicions; but the vital enterprise went forward, making highly important contributions to Allied victory. The benefits of the Anglo-American partnership extended far beyond wartime: the Ultra-Magic deals were the beginning of a long-term special relationship. The author has searched both British and American archives and examined in detail this most secret intelligence cooperation: the state of Anglo-American relations at the start of World War II, how the delicate bond was formed, how the Ultra-Magic deals operated, and why the secret relationship survived and thrived for half a century.
Bradley F. Smith is a writer, researcher, and professor of history at Cabrillo College in California.
