This is the story of Mair Thomas, later Mair Russell-Jones, who grew up in rural Wales and eventually became one of the women working as codebreakers at Bletchley Park during the Second World War. Her first-person narrative is threaded together by her son, Gethin, who provides the historical background and information about other players in the story. It is an interesting story, not just for the information about life at Bletchley, but also for the story of Mair herself and her family. Recommended. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
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.
