Unbreakable: The Spies Who Cracked the Nazis' Secret Code

Read the true story of the spies and heroes as they struggle to beak the unbreakable code. A fascinating read.

Filled with spies, intrigue, and the race to break the Nazi Enigma coded messages, this non-fiction read set before and during WW2 is sure to capture the imagination of young readers. I loved how the author illustrated the far-flung ways in which the codebreakers' efforts were of critical importance as she takes the reader from Europe to North Africa and Pearl Harbor to provide a complete but still impressively succinct history. And I particularly appreciated the epilogue in which we learn what happened to the main players after the war to complete their stories.

Spies. Codes. War. OH!! Unbreakable is an incredible true story of how a group of people broke the Nazi's "unbreakable" code.I read a lot of WWII nonfiction and fiction, but I learned so much. Barone is a master storyteller. She made complicated history easy to understand and told molded many people's stories into one bigger, very important story.Also, U-boats always remained a bit of a mystery...until now. (Before I just understood they were similar, but different than, submarines.I highly recommend this book! It's perfect for teens who want to know more (or older tweens who already understand a lot about WWII and want more details). And...it wsa great for this adult, too.

What a magnificent narrative history book!
