Until 1974, the scant information published concerning Enigma decryption attracted little attention. Ladislas Farago's 1971 best-seller "The Game of the Foxes" presented a garbled account of Ultra's origins: "Commander Denniston went clandestinely to a secluded Polish castle ["sic"] on the eve of the war pick up an Enigma, 'the Wehrmacht's top system' during World War II. Dilly Knox later solved its keying ["sic"]..." Still, this was marginally closer to the truth than many British and American best-seller accounts that would follow after 1974. Their authors were at a disadvantage: they did not know that the founder of Enigma decryption, Rejewski, was still alive and alert, and that it was reckless to fabricate stories out of whole cloth.
