Journal Entry 1 by Secretariat from Carlsbad, California USA on Thursday, June 2, 2016
I wanted to know more about Bletchley Park where, from time to time, in my reading on WW II I had heard that fantastic breakthroughs in code breaking had been accomplished. But I didn't want to know just the surface stuff, I wanted to know how it was created, organized, and run on a day-to-day basis. This book answered all those questions and more. Given this 'tell-all' age, It's amazing to me that all of the thousands and thousands of Bletchley Park inhabitants kept their secrets for many many years, even from those dearest to them. Even those who were family members or husbands and wives never discussed their separate work, taking their secrets to the grave. None knew what the other did with their days and nights. Amazing.
