Abstract

This is a book review of Dr. Jason Bell’s book, Cracking the Nazi Code, published by Harper Collins Publishers (2023). This review has been shaped by my perceptions of and reflections on current global events. Dr. Bell meticulously compiled 15 years of archival research surrounding the role of Winthrop Pickard Bell, or A12, using historical archives in Canada, Germany, and the UK. His book is invaluable for deepening historical understanding of Canada’s place in the second world war, and to deepen current understanding of the global rise in antisemitism.
