"The Ultra Americans has some secrets of its own to spill : the never-before-told episode of the American general who knew the Ultra secret and was captured by the Nazis ; why the hero who led the first raid over Tokyo, General Jimmy Doolittle, thought he could defy the Ultra regulations ; how one American in the Ultra team forecast the Battle of the Bulge, and what was done about his advance information ; the truth about the bombing of Dresden ; how General Patton used Ultra intelligence to score on the battlefield ; and the TICOM mission that took Americans and Britons from the Ultra operation into newly defeated Germany for what was to become the beginning of the Cold War.
