SOE in the Low Countries
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
William Mackenzie's in-house history of the Special Operations Executive made no secret of the disaster in Holland, long notorious in the secret world as well as in the news media, but entered into few details. The full story is now set out, from SOE's surviving archives, by a leading expert on the subject, whose ground-breaking SOE in Francefirst appeared 35 years ago. This book tells a series of harrowing stories of confusion, ineptitude, blundering, and courage, placing the minute details in their proper contexts of strategy and history. It also provides the first authoritative account of precisely what happened in a classic case of counter-espionage.
