Opis

The Special Operations Executive (SOE) was a secret British organisation created early in the Second World War to encourage resistance and carry out sabotage behind enemy lines. This text shows how in the face of extreme danger and personal risk this select band of men and women helped tilt the conflict in the Allies' favour.

Recenzje

Roderick Bailey's assembly of tales deserves a warm welcome, both for readability - there is not a dull page - and for surprise: a great deal of it is unknown to [the] general public MRD Foot, official historian of SOE Literary Review
