Codebreakers And Groundbreakers - First Edition
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
This book describes the remarkable intellectual achievements and parallel narratives of two groups of 'codebreakers' working at the same time, but independently: those involved in breaking the Second World War codes and those who deciphered the ancient script of Linear B - Europe's earliest comprehensible writing system. Illustrations include an Enigma machine, a rare loan from GCHQ, and unique archival documents held at the University of Cambridge, as well as archaeological artefacts showing the Linear B script. The work of Second World War codebreakers such as Alan Turing and Bill Tutte is discussed, alongside that of Michael Ventris and John Chadwick (himself a Bletchley codebreaker), the men who deciphered Linear B. This first edition, published in 2017, is in as new, possibly unread condition.
