About this product

Product Information

The story of the World War 2 de-coders of Bletchley Park continues to fascinate. How did Mair Thomas, a musician brought up in the Welsh valleys, find herself in the rarefied atmosphere of Hut Six, surrounded by hundreds of others, all desperately trying to break the German Enigma Code? Sworn to secrecy and working in cramped and uncomfortable conditions, Mair discovered her degree in German and Music was just what was needed. Drawn from the public schools and Oxbridge her background was very different to that of most of her colleagues and she didn't immediately fit in. This captivating memoir unpacks her daily life and explores the relationships she built. My Secret Life in Hut Six provides a fascinating insight into one woman's battle against Nazi Germany vividly capturing an era of danger, strain and day to day difficulties that were brightened occasionally by visits from the top brass, such as Winston Churchill.

Reviews
"As someone who has written extensively on Bletchley Park, I rate this very highly . . . among the books written about one single person who worked at Bletchley it is of the highest quality." -Michael Smith, author, The Secrets of Station X, "As someone who has written extensively on Bletchley Park, I rate this very highly . . . among the books written about one single person who worked at Bletchley it is of the highest quality." --Michael Smith, author, The Secrets of Station X, I am fascinated by the way Bletchley Park's commitment to absolute secrecy exercised such a powerful and enduring hold over those who worked there - what a good thing that Mair Russell-Jones was persuaded to relax it a little, giving us this engaging account of life at the heart of one of Britain's most important World War Two operations. I greatly enjoyed this book.

most interesting sidelights from a young woman who worked at Bletchley
A terrific view from the 'trenches' written about Bletchley park, a precious first-person point of view about coordination and cooperation between the diverse people and personalities who made this extraordinary and game-changing team what it was.
