Behind the Enigma

Book • 2020
Behind the Enigma offers the first comprehensive and authorized history of GCHQ, Britain's Government Communications Headquarters, based on unprecedented access to classified archives.

The book traces the origins of British signals intelligence from the 1840s through both World Wars, the Cold War, and into the modern cyber-intelligence era.

It covers key events such as the codebreaking achievements at Bletchley Park during World War II, the evolution of intelligence cooperation within the Five Eyes alliance, and the agency's adaptation to the internet age.

Ferris provides detailed insights into GCHQ's role in shaping British statecraft and intelligence operations over more than a century.
