{"product_id":"queen-of-codes","title":"Ui Chionna Jackie: Queen of Codes [2024] paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the history of British codebreaking is told, the story is often a men-only preserve (for example, of the top fourteen listed actors in Bletchley Park-set \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Imitation Game\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, only one is a woman). That perception completely ignores the fact that the vast majority of codebreakers were in fact women. And foremost among them was one who is largely unknown to the public, and whose activities were a secret even to her closest contacts - \u003cb\u003eEmily Anderson\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnderson was a leading member of British intelligence for over three decades. She played key roles in both World Wars, worked in \u003cb\u003eBletchley Park\u003c\/b\u003e and in the Middle East, and was reckoned among the \u003cb\u003etop three\u003c\/b\u003e female codebreakers in the world. Her work coincided with her other great love - music. She is famous in musicology circles as being the first to effectively decipher the letters and diaries of \u003cb\u003eMozart \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eBeethoven\u003c\/b\u003e. In 1961 Germany awarded her their highest honour, the \u003cb\u003eOrder of Merit First Class\u003c\/b\u003e, completely ignorant of the fact that the interpretative skills they were honouring were the same utilised to defeat their military only a few years previously. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecrecy was the keyword of her life, as she also had affairs with other women at a time when such was not generally accepted. That few are familiar with her name is no surprise. Even those close to her had little idea that she had such a significant role in international affairs. Now, this startling new narrative of her life, complete with new material and sources \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Queen of Codes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e will place Emily Anderson at the forefront of great British codebreakers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chionna, Jackie Ui","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":53838216429907,"sku":"XV81472295507","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"New","offer_id":47539651379539,"sku":"9781472295507","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":50569581494611,"sku":"XG81472295507","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/chionna-jackie-ui-ui-chionna-jackie-queen-of-codes-2024-paperback-9781472295507-59524145119571.jpg?v=1779705907","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/queen-of-codes","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
