The Cypher Bureau
When the Polish Cypher Bureau discover that the Germans are using a new type of code that they are unable to solve, they decide to recruit mathematics students in a ground breaking new approach to code breaking. Marian Rejewski is one of the student recommended to the Bureau and along with other brilliant students he attends a secret course in code breaking.
Having being supplied with a commercial enigma machine and a set of user manuals, Marian sets out alone to break the code. His work is carried out in the utmost secrecy but with the outbreak of war with Germany increasingly likely- time is running out...........
An incredibly informative book that kept me turning the pages.This book certainly opened my eyes over the history of WW2 and everyone involved. Emotional and heart breaking in parts but also heart warming. All in all a good historical, thriller read.
Fascinating to learn about the Enigma code from a Polish perspective. Recommend this book.
I have seen the movie based on the life of Alan Turing and the book is on my list to read. So when I saw the premise of this book, I was intrigued.It tells the story of the Polish contribution to WW2 and in particular that of Marian Rejewski, who helped decode the settings and hence messages sent from the highly evolved German code machine Enigma.This effort that helped save a lot of lives cost Marian and his fellow mathematicians heavily.A brilliant mathematician and keen thinker, Marian and
What an amazing book! These men were separated from their families and their brilliant minds used - so sad that they werent recognised for what they did until much,much later.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this well written book & it has made me want to learn more - fantastic!

Between the wars, three young Polish mathematicians are set the task of decoding messages from the German Enigma machine. One of them, Marian, manages to make a replica version, including both the mathematics and the mechanics of the task in his solution. When the war starts they are conscripted into the army and their lives take a different turn.

Hello, this is a novel I have written about the Polish mathematician Marian Rejewski who is credited in the academic world with solving Enigma -the code used by Germany before and during the Second World War- I intended the novel to be easy to read but at the same time packed with history.An incredibly informative book that kept me turning the pages.This book certainly opened my eyes over the history of WW2 and everyone involved. Emotional and heart breaking in parts but also heart warming. All in all a good historical, thriller read.
