Krátky popis
A CUNNING CHRONICLE OF THE 50 CODES THAT ALTERED THE COURSE OF
HISTORY AND CHANGED THE WORLDFrom the bestselling author of
Bletchley Park Brainteasers and The Scotland Yard Puzzle Book.
There have been secret codes since before the Old Testament, and
there were secret codes in the Old Testament too. Almost as soon as
writing was invented, so too were the devious means to hide
messages and keep them under the wraps of secrecy.In 50 Codes that
Changed the World, Sinclair McKay explores these uncrackable codes,
secret cyphers and hidden messages from across time to tell a new
history of a secret world. From the temples of Ancient Greece to
the court of Elizabeth I, from antique manuscripts whose codes
might hold prophecies of doom to the modern realm of quantum
mechanics, you will see how a few concealed words could help to win
wars, spark revolutions and even change the faces of great
nations.Here is the complete guide to the hidden world of
codebreaking, with opportunities for you to see if you could have
cracked some of the trickiest puzzles and lip-chewing codes ever
created. -----------------------Praise for Sinclair McKay's
books:'This book [The Secret Life of Bletchley Park] seems a
remarkably faithful account of what we did, why it mattered, and
how it all felt at the time by someone who couldn't possibly have
been born then. - THE GUARDIAN[Bletchley Park Brainteasers] is
outrageously difficult but utterly fascinating. - THE
EXPRESS'Sinclair McKay's account of this secret war of the airwaves
in [Secret Listeners] is as painstakingly researched and
fascinating as his bestselling The Secret Life Of Bletchley Park,
and an essential companion to it.' - DAILY MAIL
