A comprehensive illustrated history of this remarkable place, from its prewar heyday as a country estate under the Liberal MP Sir Herbert Leon, through its wartime requisition with the addition of the famous huts within the grounds, to become the place where modern computing was invented and the German Enigma code was cracked, its post-war dereliction and then rescue towards the end of the twentieth century as a museum whose visitor numbers have more than doubled in the last five years. Beautifully redesigned, featuring over 200 photographs, 10 items of removable facsimile memorabilia from Bletchley Park and personal collections, and text by bestselling author Sinclair McKay, this will be an essential purchase for everyone interested in the place where code-breaking helped to win the war.
