How, through all of World War II, the Germans failed to recognize that the Allies best source of intelligence came from the Germans own wireless signals encrypted by the cipher machine Enigma. This first-ever analysis of both the German and Allied sides of the story, argues that organizations culture and structure play a vital role in security failures and successes. The causes behind Germanys failure still exist in corporate and government agencies, from competition and compartmentalization, to narrow focuses and hierarchical rigidity.
