The Bletchley Girls by Tessa Dunlop

4.0

Most stories of Bletchley revolve around Alan Turing and his brilliance. This offers an alternative perspective, as we hear the stories of the young ladies who were recruited to do the - often mindless - work of preparation, collating and management of the codebreaking efforts. If you come for in depth analysis of codebreaking techniques you won't find it here. Often the girls didn't even know they were breaking codes!

But as a slice of war history from the point of view of those at home, albeit a privileged subset, it makes good reading.
