An outstanding mathematician, Joan was the daughter of an Anglican priest and the granddaughter of the Archbishop of Melbourne.Having been recruited by GCandCS at the beginning of the war, Joan stayed with what then became GCHQ until well past retirement age. She worked on the unmasking of Philby, Burgess and Maclean, and on the decryption of intercepted Soviet communications during the Cold War.For ten years she lived 'very quietly' surrounded by the technology of the Cold War and the Early Warning systems installed on the east coast of Scotland, only to return to GCHQ in the early 1960s to take up a new position at Cheltenham, as though nothing had happened during the intervening years.Portrayed by Keira Knightley in the Hollywood film The Imitation Game, in reality Joan Clarke was the quiet woman of British Security; a role she played for forty-five years.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Anthony J Randall examines the resistance movement along the French and Belgian border during the first year of the Great War, culminating with the execution of Edith Cavell and Philippe Baucq in October 1915.There were others: Louise Thuliez, Henriette Moriamé, Jacqueline Van Til, Princess Marie de Croy and Jeanne de Belleville. They all sacrificed their freedom, if not their lives. Some were from the French and Belgian aristocracy, others were simple peasants; all were patriots.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Born into privilege as the granddaughter of Queen Victoria's favourite Field Marshal, Rotha Lintorn-Orman was destined for an extraordinary life. From the early days of the Boy Scout and Girl Guide movements to working as a driver and mechanic with the Scottish Women's Hospital in Serbia during World War I, Rotha's courage set her apart. An avid motorist and close associate of Suffragettes, she adopted a masculine style that shocked polite society. Yet, it was in the turbulent post-war years that Rotha's story took a darker turn. Admiring Mussolini, she founded Britain's first Fascist party, aiming to preserve traditional values in the face of rising socialism and communism. But as more extreme factions rose, Rotha refused to embrace anti-Semitism, leading to a splintering within her movement. Scorned as a 'Boy Scout Fascist,' her political influence waned, and her personal life descended into addiction and scandal. In her final years, she sought solace in the Canary Islands, where she died, leaving little trace on the world she once sought to transform. This fascinating biography unveils the complex and often misunderstood life of a woman who lived on the fringes of history, driven by conviction but ultimately undone by her contradictions. AUTHOR: Born and brought up in Bedfordshire, Anthony worked on some of the first computers used in the United Kingdom. Largely self-taught, there being few who knew too much about computers, he worked on mainly technical applications. Living and working in the Geneva area he and his wife Isabel returned to England in 1978 to set up his own consultancy. Working on mainly military projects, he was recruited to work on projects that involved high explosives and was asked by the Chinese military to help them with the international distribution of their own commercial explosives. This occupied the remainder of his working life, resulting in Chinese high explosives being accepted all over the world. Retiring to the north Norfolk coast, Anthony now forms part of the Sheringham R.N.L.I. lifeboat station, taking a financial role. He is also able to indulge his interest in history and politics by researching both world wars. Prior to this work he has previously published a book on Joan Clarke's contribution to work at Bletchley Park and then at GCHQ. He is married with two children and two granddaughters. 20 b/w illustrations Born into privilege as the granddaughter of Queen Victoria's favourite Field Marshal, Rotha Lintorn-Orman was destined for an extraordinary life.

Hardback. Condition: New. This powerful and unsettling book tells the story of how fascism came dangerously close to taking root in Britain. The story begins with the White Feather Brigade; women from the Suffrage movement who, abandoned by Emmeline Pankhurst at the outbreak of the First World War, turned their energies toward pressuring men to enlist. When peace came and these women were still (largely) denied the vote, many found themselves drawn to a new ideology that promised recognition and purpose: British fascism.From the early stirrings of the British Fascisti through the turmoil of the General Strike, The Rise of Fascism in Britain also traces the path that led Oswald Mosley to prominence, examines his close ties to both Hitler and members of the British Royal Family, and his ultimate downfall with the outbreak of the Second World War.Rigorous yet accessible, this book reveals how fear of socialism, national trauma, and misplaced patriotism combined to create fertile ground for authoritarian ideas, and how, ultimately, fascism in Britain failed to take hold. …
