Author Jason Bell to discuss his book, 'Cracking the Nazi Code' in Milton Keynes

Associate Professor Jason Bell will visit Waterstones in Midsummer Place on Thursday (Nov 2).

He will be in town - having journeyed from Canada -  to talk about his thrilling new book, Cracking the Nazi Code: The Untold Story of Canada's Greatest Spy.

Cracking the Nazi Code is the untold story of the greatest spy of the 20th Century. The Englishman Alan Turing's use of computer-aided mathematics to break the Nazi's World War Two cypher has become famous.

But decades earlier, Dr Winthrop Bell, a British subject, Canadian philosopher, historian and MI6 spy, was the first to crack the Nazi code. His death-defying adventures in revolutionary 1919 Berlin were long kept top-secret and his story has remained unknown. Finally his declassified papers reveal how he used the humanities to save humanity.
