Description
The acclaimed novel of spies, code-breaking, and intrigue in World War II Italy, THE ROMAN ENIGMA is now presented in a new paperback edition.
Italy: 1943.
The Target: Enigma, the German's bafflingly complex enciphering machine. Its code was unbreakable until ULTRA put the key to winning the war in Allied hands.
The Plan: A devious double-cross to convince the Germans that their cipher is still secure. Making full use of powerful Vatican connections, it entails sending an agent into Nazi-occupied Rome ... and making sure he is caught.
The Agent: Roberto Rovere, a young Italian-American OSS agent. The Allies have cold-bloodedly plotted every detail of his capture and death except one: the Germans want him to escape - alive.
"What raises this novel above many another World War II yarn is the way Murphy combines political realism and religious idealism to question the deepest ideology of them all, a blind nationalism that justifies all excess in the name of the greater good."
- The Washington Post
"Fascinating and important."
- Andrew M. Greeley, author of The Cardinal Sins
