Praise for Sinclair McKays books
This book The Secret Life of Bletchley Park seems a remarkably faithful account of what we did why it mattered and how it all felt at the time by someone who couldnt possibly have been born then THE GUARDIAN
Bletchley Park Brainteasers is outrageously difficult but utterly fascinating THE EXPRESS
Sinclair McKays account of this secret war of the airwaves in Secret Listeners is as painstakingly researched and fascinating as his bestselling The Secret Life Of Bletchley Park and an essential companion to it DAILY MAIL
