Riassunto

The shadowy undercover work of the American OSS and the British SOE in World War Two - usually behind enemy lines or close to the hard action - needs no invention to make its retelling a tale of unbelievable daring and bravery. In this enthralling compilation of actual events the author allows this natural excitement through as he accurately describes specific actions - codebreaking, blockade running, guerrilla action, bombing missions, sniper and assassination work, running double agents, training work and recruitment methods.
