Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Before Bletchley Park could break the German war machine's code, its daily military communications had to be monitored and recorded by 'the Listening Service', the wartime department whose bases moved with every theatre of war (Cairo, Malta, Gibraltar, Iraq, Cyprus) as well as having listening stations along the eastern coast of Britain to intercept radio traffic in the European theatre. This is the story of the - usually very young - men and women sent out to farflung outposts to listen in for Bletchley Park, an oral history of exotic locations and ordinary lives turned upside down by a sudden remote posting - the heady nightlife in Cairo, filing cabinets full of snakes in North Africa, and flights out to Delhi by luxurious flying boat. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Before the messages of the German war machine could be decoded, thousands of young men and women had to locate and monitor endless streams of radio traffic around the clock, and transcribe its Morse code at a speed few have ever managed since. They were part of the 'Y' (for 'Wireless') Service: the Listening Service an organisation just as secret as Bletchley Park, but nowadays still little-known and unrecognised. Without it, however, the Allies would have learned nothing of the enemy's military intentions. Now, in the follow-up to his Sunday Times-bestselling The Secret Life of Bletchley Park, through dozens of interviews with surviving veterans, Sinclair McKay chronicles the history and achievements of this remarkable group of people." / Contents -- 1 Tuning in to the Enemy -- 2 Reporting for Special Duties -- 3 The Human Computors -- 4 The Listeners at Large -- 5 The Blitz and the Ghost Voices -- 6 Heat, Sand and Ashes -- 7 A World Wide Web of Intelligence -- 8 Feuds, Farce and Panic -- 9 Wilder Shores and Secret Missions -- 10 This is No Holiday Camp -- 11 Storms in the Desert -- 12 Rommel and the Art of Dirty Tricks -- 13 Not So Quiet on the Domestic Front -- 14 Life-Long Friendships Were Forged -- 15 By the Sleepy Lagoon -- 16 Foreboding and Frustration -- 17 Witnesses to Different Worlds -- 18 D-Day and After -- 19 The End and the Beginning -- 20 The Legacy of the Listeners -- Notes -- Acknowledgements - Index.
