'Although we rarely find the truth in public reports of the French government or of their officers,I believe we may venture to depend upon the truth of what is written in cypher.' Lord Wellington,May 1813. In 1812 two mighty armies manoeuvered across the Spanish plains. They were finely balanced,under skilful leaders.Each struggled to gain an advantage.Wellington knew that if he defeated the French,he could turn the tide of the war.Good intelligence was paramount,but the French were using a code of unrivalled complexity - the 'Great Paris Cipher'.It was a daunting challenge,and Wellington looked to one man to break the code: Major George Scovell. In this compelling account of the officer who waged the intelligence battle against Napoleon's army,Mark Urban shows Scovell to be a forerunner to the great code-breakers of the 20thC.Using a network of Spanish guerillas,Scovell amassed a stack of coded French messages, and set to work decrypting them.But as a man of low birth,Scovell - even with his genius for languages,and bravery on a dozen battlefields - struggled for advancement amongst Wellington's inner circle of richer, better connected officers.Mark Urban draws on a wealth of original sources,including many ciphers and code-tables,to restore Scovell to his rightful place in history.
