In article <1992Dec31.201639.12700@netcom.com> nagle@netcom.com (John Nagle) writes: Read "Turing - The Enigma" for a biography of Turing and a general discussion of life and work at Bletchley Park. "Ultra Goes to War" and "The Ultra Secret" discuss the military implications. If you can find it, "Modern Machine Cryptography" describes exactly how the work at Bletchley Park was done, with photos of the gear and BASIC programs so you can simulate a bombe. I've heard that a bombe has been shown at the Smithsonian (it may be in storage at the moment; they have far more stuff than museum space). Also check out the new book "The Ultra-Magic Deals and the Most Secret Special Relationship, 1940-1946" by Bradley F. Smith. It's about the US-UK cooperation and its postwar implications. I just got this book, haven't read it yet but it looks quite good.
