520    "Geniuses at War is the dramatic, untold story of the 
       brilliant team who built the world's first digital 
       electronic computer at Bletchley Park, during a critical 
       time in World War II. Decoding the communication of the 
       Nazi high command was imperative for the success of the 
       Allied invasion of Normandy. The Nazi missives were 
       encrypted by the "Tunny" cipher, a code that was orders of
       magnitude more difficult to crack than the infamous Enigma
       code. But Tommy Flowers, a maverick English working-class 
       engineer, recruited by Alan Turing, the Enigma code 
       breaker, devised the ingenious, daring, and controversial 
       plan to build a machine that could think at breathtaking 
       speed and break the code in nearly real time. Together 
       with the pioneering mathematician Max Newman and Turing, 
       Flowers and his team produced--against the odds, the clock,
       and a resistant leadership--Colossus, the world's first 
       digital electronic computer, the machine that would help 
       bring the war to an end. With fascinating detail and 
       illuminating insight, David A. Price's Geniuses at War 
       tells, for the first time, the mesmerizing story of the 
       great minds behind Colossus, and chronicles their 
       remarkable feats of engineering genius which ushered in 
       the dawn of the digital age"--|cProvided by publisher.
