Michael Goodman BBC History Magazine An astonishing story of wartime espionage. Robert Hutton author of Agent Jack At the outbreak of World War II MI 6 spymaster Thomas Kendrick arrived at the Tower of London to set up a top secret operation: German prisoners cells were to be bugged and listeners installed behind the walls to record and transcribe their private conversations.
