The thrilling true story of Agent A12, the earliest enemy of the Nazis, and the first spy to crack Hitlers deadliest secret code: the framework of the Final Solution In public life, Dr. Winthrop Bell of Halifax was a Harvard philosophy professor and wealthy businessman. As MI6 secret agent A12, he evaded gunfire and shook off pursuers to break open the emerging Nazi conspiracy in 1919 Berlin. His reports, the first warning of the Nazi plot for WWII, went directly to the man known as C, the mysterious founder of MI6, and to prime ministers. But a powerful fascist politician quietly worked to suppress his alerts. Nevertheless, his intelligence sabotaged the Nazis in ways only now revealed. Bell became a spy once again in the face of WWII. In 1939, he was the first to crack Hitlers deadliest secret code: the Holocaust. At that time, the fhrer was a popular politician who said he wanted peace. Could anyone believe Bells shocking warning? Fighting an epic intelligence war from Ukraine, Russia and Poland to France, Germany, Canada and Washington, DC, A12 was the real-life 007, waging a single-handed fight against madmen bent on destroying the world. Without Bells astounding courage, the Nazis might just have won the war. Informed by recently declassified documents, Cracking the Nazi Code is the first book to illuminate the astounding exploits of Winthrop Bell, Agent A12.

I often will say that a non-fiction book reads like fiction, indicating it is an easy exciting read. This is not the case for this book. It is a harder read, however, I still enjoyed it and not being a student of history, I learned so much. While agent A12 cracked the 'code' and foresaw Hitler's real plan, I felt his frustration as he tried to get people in power to accept it. This is a well researched book and worthy of your time. 3.75/5 stars.
