Foreword by Admiral of the Fleet The Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Donald Harvey McLachlan (25 September 1908 - 10 January 1971) was a Scottish journalist and author who was the founding editor of The Sunday Telegraph. Though initially a member of the British Army's Intelligence Corps during the Second World War, McLachlan was transferred to the Naval Intelligence Division early on by Admiral John Henry Godfrey, where he was given a variety of assignments. In 1941 he became head of the Naval Propaganda sub-section NID 17Z, which focused on propaganda efforts against the Kriegsmarine. He served in this capacity for the remainder of the conflict, and reached the rank of commander. Among his colleagues during the war was Ian Fleming, who would later go on to create the character of James Bond. Home of Naval Intelligence during World War II. The Tracking Room tracing the U-Boats, marshaling facts for the Normandy invasion, enemy movements in the Channel. Emphatic, historical look at Naval Intelligence and the men who led it. Derived from a Kirkus review: This book is the detailed story of British Naval Intelligence in operation during World War II with an emphasis on the crucial first four years. Room 39 was the hub, the center into which tons of information poured to be distilled, reexamined, evaluated in terms of plans, policy and rebuttal. Mr. McLachlan, who served on the personal staff of the Director of Naval Intelligence, Rear Admiral John Godfrey, from 1940 to 1945 details the action. But the reader can glean some interesting facts about personalities such as Ian Fleming, Churchill and Roosevelt operating under crisis conditions. This shows the role of this division in locating and challenging U-boats, their brains behind the Normandy invasion, and the sinking of the Bismarck, etc. First American Edition [stated].
