I assume on that list you have David G. Kahn's THE CODEBREAKERS.

While its not specifically about intercept or WW2, it covers Bletchley Park
pretty well, as well as some information on the RID (Radio Intelligence
Division) of the FCC, some of the role of HUFFDUFF in sub hunting, as well
as a bit about the OP20G  monitoring efforts before the war to intercept and
break the multipart message from Japan's foreign ministry to the American
Embassy which broke off US / Japanese relations and signaled the start of
WW2 for America.

Fascinating book, but BIG, and I believe out of print now.
