As Codes often enter into adventure fiction I read this sort of thing. Mr. Urban has researched the period and the techniques well, and the result is entertaining and informative, though a little flat to fans of Richard Sharpe. ( ) History of George Scovell, military officer who served under Wellington in Iberian campaign of Napoleonic War. Not as heavy a 'codebreaker' emphasis as indicated by the title, although the author makes the case that Wellington's successes were dependent upon Scovell's having broken the codes--a feat he performed virtually single handedly. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
This work gives a compelling account of the officer who waged the intelligence battle against Napoleon's army, a forerunner to the great code-breakers of the 20th century. The French army, during the Peninsular War, used a code of unrivalled complexity - the Great Paris Cipher. Major George Scovell used a network of Spanish guerillas to capture coded French messages, and then set to work decrypting them. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
