Presents the full story of Aston House in the Second World War. Its activities were top secret and as important to the war effort as Bletchley Park, but in a different way. Situated near Stevenage, Aston House was one of the many British country houses requisitioned during the Second World War by the Special Operations Executive (SOE).
Des Turner trained as a draughtsman with English Electric and worked on guided missile design until he took early retirement to pursue his many interests that include history. When he and his family moved to the village of Aston in 1966 it kindled an interest in him to discover more about the secret history of Aston House. This is his first book.
