Mair Thomas tells her story in this fascinating memoir--that of
a decoder in World War II, using all of her skills to help break
the infamous German Enigma Code
The story of the World War II decoders of Bletchley Park
continues to fascinate. How did Mair Thomas, a musician brought up
in the Welsh valleys, find herself in the rarefied atmosphere of
Hut Six, surrounded by hundreds of others, all desperately trying
to break the German Enigma Code? Sworn to secrecy and working in
cramped and uncomfortable conditions, Mair discovered her degree in
German and Music was just what was needed. Drawn from the public
schools and Oxbridge her background was very different to that of
most of her colleagues and she didn't immediately fit in. This
captivating memoir unpacks her daily life and explores the
relationships she built. "My Secret Life in Hut Six" provides a
fascinating insight into one woman's battle against Nazi Germany,
vividly capturing an era of danger, strain and day to day
difficulties that were brightened occasionally by visits from the
top brass, such as Winston Churchill.
