Colossus: Bletchley Park's greatest secret by Paul Gannon
It's not just patriotism that drove this choice. Although it's gratifying to read about the UK's contribution to computer development, this is a story that appeals to a wider audience too.
The code-breaking work at Bletchley Park still holds a fascination for us today - the work has a resonance too in the way that intelligence agencies use some of the same techniques to crack terrorist cells. It's a shame that the government doesn't recognise this and support the development of the Bletchley Park site - this book explains exactly why we should treasure this site.
