About the event
Join us for an exclusive live interview with Alistair Moffat, author of Assassins and Secret Listeners. Throughout Britain, all day and in the dead of night, secret listeners passed hundreds of thousands of coded German messages to Bletchley Park, while men trained in sabotage and silent killing stood ready in hidden bases to strike if invasion came. Sworn to secrecy, their heroic work has long been overlooked, yet it played a crucial part in the Allied victory in 1945.
In conversation with Barry Robertson, Alistair will discuss how he uncovered these half-forgotten stories, the ordinary people who carried such extraordinary secrets, and why their silence lasted for decades.
