Review: THE ENEMY IS LISTENING
THE ENEMY IS LISTENING by Aileen Clayton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Aileen Clayton's autobiorgraphical account of waging "electronic war" on the axis for the British and WWII is a fascinating and detailed if unusual picture of the European Theater. Clayton can't help but go very far into wireless technical details and often her maps add nothing to the story, but the story stripped of these is fascinating. Not only did she listen in on German figher pilots and more from Great Britain to Malta to Cairo, but she pioneered the role of women in British uniformed services and mutual respect for them.
