Lord Briggs has long been regarded as one of Britain's most important historians. He has never, however, written about his time at Bletchley Park. The publication, which will coincide with Lord Briggs 90th birthday, is a meticulously researched account of life in Hut Six, written by a codebreaker who worked there for five years alongside Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman. In addition to discussing the progress of the Allies'code-breaking efforts and their impact on the war, Lord Briggs considers what the Germans knew about Bletchley and how they reacted to revelatory memoirs about the Enigma machine which were not published until the 1970s. Briggs himself did not tell his wife about his wartime career until the 1970s and his parents died without ever knowing their son's contribution to the wartime effort. The book will be launched at Bletchley in May 2011, in the presence of other Hut 6 veterans and part of the proceeds will be donated to the fund to restore Hut 6 to its former glory."--Publisher's description. 505 0 $a BP : an introduction -- Cambridge -- Getting inside BP -- The huts ... and hut six in particular -- Two camps ... and more -- Ways of escape -- The end of the war -- Getting outside BP -- Oxford -- The Bletchley trust. 600 10 $a Briggs, Asa, $d 1921-2016. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Government Communications Headquarters $x History. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Government Code and Cypher School $x History. 600 17 $a Briggs, Asa, $d 1921-2016 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00013961 610 17 $a Great Britain. $b Government Code and Cypher School. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00790191 610 17 $a Great Britain. $b Government Communications Headquarters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00591280 650 0 $a Lorenz cipher system. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Cryptography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Secret service $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Electronic intelligence $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Personal narratives, British. 651 0 $a Bletchley Park (Milton Keynes, England) $x History. 650 7 $a Cryptography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00884552 650 7 $a Electronic intelligence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00907316 650 7 $a Lorenz cipher system. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01002595 650 7 $a Secret service. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110661 651 7 $a England $z Bletchley Park. $z Bletchley Park. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01711859 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 650 7 $a Dechiffrierung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Weltkrieg $g 1939-1945 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Bletchley Park $g Bletchley $2 gnd 651 7 $a GroÃbritannien $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 655 4 $a Erlebnisbericht. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Personal narratives $v British. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424087 941 $a 1 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508020230.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A61CDB3490F111EA86A69E4897128E48 994 $a 92 $b UINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
