Description
Discover the hidden history of Britain's role in World War II. Sinclair McKay explores the secret bases and battlegrounds that played a crucial part in the war effort, from Bletchley Park to Arisaig. The UK was shrouded in secrecy during the war, with road signs removed and underground laboratories built to conceal key plans. This book brings to life the stories of those who worked behind the scenes, using secret country houses as laboratories for cryptography work. McKay delves into the history of these hidden locations, revealing their significance and intrigue. By tracing the paths of Britain's wartime efforts, McKay gives a glimpse into the lives of the people involved, and shows how visitors can explore these mysterious sites themselves. With warmth and compassion, he uncovers the truths of the war that have remained under wraps since 1945.
