In "the lost world of Bletchley Park", Sinclair McKay tells the story of the park from its pre-war heyday, to its late 20th century resurrection to play host to both Antiques Roadshow and the Queen. With special access to the Park's archives, the 200 illustrations include many previously unseen and unauthorized photographs of Wrens and codebreakers minding machines or simply relaxing by the lake soaking up the sunshine.
