Inhaltsangabe:

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.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Ian Dear is a historian with an unusual background in covert warfare. He spent five years as writer and general editor of THE OXFORD COMPANION TO THE SECOND WORLD WAR, with Professor M.R.D. Foot as historical adviser.
