Rarely named and frequently written out of history, the remarkable women of British intelligence finally receive the recognition they so richly deserve in this expertly researched narrative that will be a must-read for fans of military history.

To the undiscerning eye, they were secretaries, typists, personal assistants, and telephonists. But those innocuous job titles provided the perfect cover for what were in reality a range of complex technical, clerical, and occupational roles. Often overlooked and underestimated by outsiders, the women of British intelligence encoded, decoded, and translated enemy messages, wrote propaganda, and oversaw agents, performing duties as diverse as they were indispensable.
