Between Silk and Cyanide by Leo Marks, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Respected screenwriter and renowned cryptographer Leo Marks offers an exceptional wartime spy thriller with a shocking twist — it’s a true story! Between Silk and Cyanide: A Codemaker’s War, 1941-1945 tells of Marks’ experiences as a cryptographer working for Britain’s Special Operations Executive during the war. He and his peers on both sides of the conflict endeavoured to create foolproof codes while tricking and baiting the enemy with false information. Marks and his fellow code-breakers eventually won the intellectual war between the SOE and the Germans in Holland. They succeeded not only by decoding top-secret German messages, but also tricked the Third Reich into believing Britain had a secret army in the Fatherland itself. | Between Silk and Cyanide by Leo Marks, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
