Based on extensive interviews conducted specifically for this book, Tessa Dunlop tells the story of The Bletchley Girls through the lives of fifteen women who were all selected to work in Britain's most secret World War Two organisation - Bletchley Park. Many were just school girls at the outbreak of war; the next six years would change their lives forever. This vivid portrayal of their experiences, sacrifices and memories is a poignant reminder that without the work of thousands of young women Bletchley Park's extraordinary achievements would not have been possible. By meeting and talking to these fascinating female secret-keepers who are still alive today, Tessa Dunlop captures their extraordinary journeys into an adult world of war, secrecy, love and loss. Through the voices of the women themselves, this is the story of life at Bletchley Park beyond the celebrated code-breakers, it's the story of the girls behind Britain's ability to consistently outsmart the enemy.
