About this title

Synopsis

The celebrated code breakers of Bletchley Park would have had no messages to decipher without the efforts of the 'Y' ('Wireless') Service, which sent men and women across the globe to listening stations where German messages were intercepted. Sinclair McKay uses interviews with surviving veterans of the Service to tell both the history of this shadowy organization and the personal stories of the young interceptors and their life-changing experiences far from home.
