Samenvatting | The part played by code-cracking in World War II has at last been dramatically revealed in a popular film and countless broadcasts and has also inspired several accounts by code-crackers. Much less well-known is how code-cracking was used in operational situations. Now the 'Silent Service' at last speaks through the voice of a young and inexperienced naval officer whose rites of passage to manhood required him to act as a seagoing eavesdropper, a role calling riot only for quick intelligence but also for facing up to excitement and danger. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his efforts. The book is sure to be of great significance to anyone interested in modern history, maritime warfare, naval intelligence and code-breaking. |
