The woman of Bletchley Park have a unique story to tell. Although critical to the success of the project to break the German and Japanese codes in the Second World War, their contribution has been consistently undervalued.
Based on extensive interviews conducted specifically for this book, Tessa Dunlop tells the story of fifteen women selected to work in Britain's most secret WWII organisation.
Many were just school girls at the outbreak of war and the next six years would change their lives forever. Speaking vividly of their lives in the 1930s, we hear their voices (often for the first time) as they tell how life at 'The Park' was far removed from the glamorous existence usually portrayed.
