A fascinating anthology which sheds new light on the Bletchley Park
story and shows that there is still more to tell.' - Tony Comer
OBE, formerly Departmental Historian at GCHQ This important volume
tells the story of Bletchley Park through countless letters written
by key players to former colleagues and loved ones as the war
unfolded. Having intercepted millions of German communications, the
codebreakers had felt bound by the Official Secrets Act and said
little about their wartime activities. Some who had stayed on at
GCHQ after the war, were concerned that speaking out could
jeopardise their pensions.Over one hundred letters have been
included in this volume and have either been recovered from family
members or declassified by GCHQ. They reveal fresh information
about the clandestine operation and disclose the true feelings of
the participants at Bletchley.Park. In contrast to early accounts,
which lacked detail and were occasionally inaccurate, this book
thoroughly lays bare the day-to-day experiences at Bletchley Park
and uncovers the operational and technical reasons behind the
organisation's successes and failures. Simultaneously intimate and
comprehensive, it will interest historians, World War II
researchers, and anyone who wants to learn the secrets of Britain's
signal intelligence effort.
