WAR OF SHADOWS continued from page 40
source. An American, Maj. Bonner Fellers, liaison to the British military, had intimate knowledge of operations. Unfortunately, his communications were being read by the Nazis. The British warned Americans just in time.
Indeed, the bulk of the book deals with the critical role of codebreaking in military operations. Gorenberg recognizes the work of three Poles, Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski, whose brilliant contributions to breaking Germany’s Enigma code, he believes, have been neglected. The famed Bletchley Park gets its due as the center for England’s premier codebreakers. Gorenberg also presents fresh stories about critical players, such as the unknown Margaret Storey, who relentlessly pursued the “good source.”
Gorenberg also discusses the potential for a Holocaust in the Middle East. The Nazis had already rounded up Jews in areas they controlled, but anticipating a complete victory, the notorious SS commander Walter Reuff was ordered to develop Operation Atlas, a comprehensive plan to deal with Jews in North Africa. Had the Allies failed, the Holocaust would have been extended to Palestine.
War of Shadows is an excellent book. Readers interested in spy work, critical moments in World War II, the Middle East or the pre-history of Israel will find it fascinating.
