The communications were encoded with a powerful cypher--unless you could unlock the key to Germany's Enigma machine. Featuring historical photos, Unbreakable tells the story of one of the most dangerous war-time code-breaking efforts ever. As Hitler marched his troops across conquered lands and deadly 'wolfpacks' of German U-Boats prowled the open seas, victory--or defeat--for the Allies hinged on their desperate attempts to crack the code. Told in riveting multiple points of view, Unbreakable is perfect for fans of The Boys Who Challenged Hitler and The Nazi Hunters"--Provided by the publisher.
