Bletchley Park brainteasers
Sinclair McKay (Author)
"Have a knack for mastering Morse code? Want to discover whether your crossword hobby might have seen your recruited into the history books? Think you could have contributed to the effort to crack the Nazis' infamous Enigma code? Then this book about Bletchley Park--the top-secret home of British World War II cryptographers--was custom-made for you. When scouring the population for codebreakers, Bletchley Park recruiters left no stone unturned. They devised various ingenious mind-twisters to assess the puzzle-solving capacity of these individuals--hidden codes, cryptic crosswords, secret languages, and complex riddles. These puzzles, together with the fascinating recruitment stories that surround them, are contained in this book, endorsed by Bletchley Park itself. Though they had diverse backgrounds, the codebreakers of Bletchley Park were united in their love of a good puzzle. If you are of the same persuasion, put your mental agility to the test with the fiendishly challenging puzzles on these pages and ask yourself: Would Bletchley Park have recruited you?"--Page 4 of cover
