About this title

Synopsis

An illustrated guidebook to the Bletchley Park complex.

Bletchley Park has global significance. It is where the World War Two Codebreakers broke seemingly impenetrable codes and ciphers, and it is where the world's first electronic computers were installed and operated.

The intelligence produced here contributed to all theatres of World War Two. Bletchley Park pioneered co-operation with other intelligence services including France, Poland and the United States. The techniques developed here played a major role in the Cold War and in many cases, remain highly relevant today.

The site is a portal into the information age in which we live, as unique data-processing machines were developed to help speed up the codebreaking effort.
