The definitive oral history of a unique and extraordinary organisation tasked to 'set Europe ablaze' in the Second World War
Roderick Bailey is a military historian attached to the Imperial War Museum and the author of the Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller, Forgotten Voices of the Secret War, and the critically acclaimed The Wildest Province- SOE in the Land of the Eagle. He is a graduate of Cambridge and Edinburgh Universities and a former Alistair Horne Fellow at St Antony's College, Oxford.
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
*Literary Review*
Roderick Bailey has skilfully braided their stories into a coherent
narrative, and the quality of their egregious courage catches at
the heart
*Spectator*
a fascinating and at times gruesome and moving read, and is an
ideal introduction to the whole subject of the SOE...thoroughly
recommended
*BBC Who Do You Think You Are Magazine*
