British Intelligence in the Second World War

F.H. Hinsley

4.9/5 (26391 ratings)

Description:Just as the first volume of this trilogy shook the foundations of every previous account of the opening stages of the Second World War, so the second continues the demolition work, starting in the second summer of the war and ending in the fourth. Perhaps one day a comprehensive and readable history will be constructed. This book with its fifteen chapters, twenty-two appendices and four excellent pull-out maps is a masterpiece of condensation. The superb index runs to eighty-three pages of small print in double column. The authors continue, as a general rule, to avoid mentioning names, but when they come to the story of Convoy PQ17, which sailed into the mid- night sun early in July 1942, we are The First Sea Lord asked 'Can you assure me that the Tirpitz is still in Altingfjord?' and Denning replied that, although he could not give an absolute assurance, he was confident she was, and expected that his opinion would be confirmed when in the fairly near future the Government Code and Cypher School (GC and CS) broke the Enigma for the 24 hours beginning at noon. Here is true history, told by people who were there. The First Sea Lord was Admiral Sir Dudley Pound, and Vice-Admiral Sir Norman Denning was Deputy Director Intelligence Centre. Compare this passage with the recent statements by the commander of PQ17's escort, and it is obvious that no one was to blame for the First Sea Lord's order to the ships to scatter, which resulted in the loss of twenty-four out of thirty-seven (fourteen by aircraft, ten by submarine and none by Tirpitz). All had done their duty and obeyed orders. That is part of the horror and madness of, war.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
