Behind the celebrated code-breaking at Bletchley Park during the Second World War lies another secret. 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.
