THE GEESE THAT WON THE WAR is a work of fiction based upon true events when, between the years 1939 -1945, more than 10,000 people involved themselves in one of the most top-secret missions the world has ever known. They cracked enemy codes, saving Britain from Nazi domination and the world from two or three more years of war. After encountering the Enigma Machine, a bewildering gift from Poland, Sheila Bradshaw knew she would never again be the same. She had entered a world most people didn't know existed-one centered on an innocent-looking contraption, resembling a small typewriter with many keys and lights, housed in a wooden box. She had learned of the harm it was doing, as well as the harm it would still do if experts failed to decipher its many meanings. How could something so ordinary in appearance have so many billions of possible combinations, with the goal of destroying her country and its allies?
