| Description: |
Looks at the extraordinary contribution to the allied war effort by the SOE from 1940 to the end of the war. This book explains how the SOE agents were recruited and trained and also explains the extreme complexity of the SOE relationship with the government, MI5 and MI6 and the resistance. |
| Synopsis: |
SOE and The Resistance describes the extraordinary contribution to the allied war effort made by the Special Operations Executive, from its formation in 1940 to the end of the war. Within a broadly chronological framework, the book illustrates how resistance was stimulated among the subjugated populations of Europe and the Far East, leading to the sabotage of industry and communications critical to the Axis cause. Ranging from France, through Scandinavia, the Low Countries, North Africa, the Balkans and the Far East, the story unfolds through the lives of the heroic men and women who served with the SOE in enemy-held territory, as recorded in their obituaries in The Times. |
