Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Britain's Y Service consisted of the radio operators who searched with their ears for possible radio intercepts from enemy communications. They have been relatively neglected in narratives of the information side of the two World Wars. Military historian Macksey provides some restitution, describing the Service's activities, its technological innovations, and its contributions to the overall war efforts. Distributed by Sterling.
