SOE - Churchills Secret AgentsPaperback
The Special Operations Executive (SOE) was one of the most innovative British creations of the Second World War. Potential agents were put through intensive paramilitary and parachute training, then taught how to live clandestinely behind enemy lines, to operate radios and write in secret codes. Its mission was to export resistance, subversion and sabotage to occupied Europe and beyond, disrupting the German war effort and building a Secret Army which would work in the shadows to help defeat the Nazis.
This book uses rare images from the collections of The National Archives and the Imperial War Museum to illustrate the lives of the men and women who made up the SOE, their rigorous training, the clever gadgets they used and their lives behind enemy lines. They lived in constant fear of arrest, and of betrayal by treacherous collaborators.
