Another book that has not been mentioned is "Alan Turing the Enigma" by Andrew Hodges. It gives, what I think, is a good analysis of Turing's work, alot of which is still classified, what role Hut 6 played (theater traffic analysis, bombe development, and other projects after Hut 6) , and his subquent role in the development computing. Hodges does a good job of putting Turing in historical and mathematical/cryptological perspective. Alas, like some of the books that are sugguested, it is recently out of print ( look for it in the remainder/used book stores). Dan
