' No British statesman in modern times has had a more passionate belief In the value of secret intelligence. None has been more determined to put it to good use.'
The latest volume of MARTIN GILBERT 'S biography of Winston S. Churchill covering the years 1939-41 will be published shortly. Unlike Churchill's own history of World War 11, Gilbert is able to include the story of the Ultra secret. Dr Christopher Andrew , Senior Tutor, Corpus Christi College,
Cambridge, gives his assessment of the use made of this unique source, and other
Churchill papers available for the first time.
