OverviewFrom the secret huts of Bletchley Park to the sprawling headquarters of the NSA, Codebreakers: The Secret War of Intelligence tells the hidden story of how mathematics, machines, and human ingenuity reshaped global power. Tracing the evolution of cryptography across wars, diplomacy, and the digital age, it reveals how secrecy became strategy and how numbers became weapons. This sweeping narrative uncovers the breakthroughs of wartime cryptanalysts, the birth of postwar intelligence agencies, the revolution of public-key cryptography, and the ongoing battles over privacy, surveillance, and state control in the twenty-first century. Alongside the great machines and famous algorithms, it restores the human legacy of the thousands-mathematicians, linguists, engineers, clerks, and whistleblowers-whose unseen work altered history. With clarity and authority, this book shows how the fight for secure communication has always been more than a technical contest: it is a struggle over trust, liberty, and power itself.
