There are many books featuring my home town of Bletchley due to the role of Bletchley Park in World War Two.
The one book I'd mention is The Secret Life of Bletchley Park by Sinclair McKay as it looks at the lives of those who worked there. What I find fascinating is the pressures they were under living in this secret community, not able to tell friends and family and those who they lived with what they were working on.
The book even goes into the food they ate and their leisure pastimes; fascinating.
We owe these people so much.
