Behind the celebrated code-breaking at Bletchley Park lies another
secret...The men and women of the ' Y' (for Wireless' ) Service
were sent out across the world to run listening stations from
Gibraltar to Cairo, intercepting the German military's encrypted
messages for decoding back at the now-famous Bletchley Park
mansion. Such wartime postings were life-changing adventures -
travel out by flying boat or Indian railways, snakes in filing
cabinets and heat so intense the perspiration ran into your shoes -
but many of the secret listeners found lifelong romance in their
far-flung corner of the world. Now, drawing on dozens of interviews
with surviving veterans, Sinclair McKay tells their remarkable
story at last.
