Mavis Batey's book "Dilly: The Man Who Broke Enigmas" (2009) is available
through the Fairfax County Library and is about one of Bletchley Parks most
notable persons Alfred Dillwyn "Dilly" Knox.   She was one of the code
breakers at Bletchley Park and is credited with decoding a message that led
to the crippling of the Italian Navy in 1941.  She also played an important
role in decoding traffic involved in the Normandy Invasion.

I have read this book and highly recommend it.
