In June 1940, Britain and her allies were driven off the Continent by the German Army. Any hope of them fighting the Germans in Europe was lost. With the threat of invasion imminent, Britain needed to adopt a new style of warfare and the Secret Operations Executive was founded. The SOE was responsible for the co-ordination of all subversive and sabotage activity against the enemy. Winston Churchill gave them the brief: "Go, set Europe ablaze". Permitted to use any means necessary, they adopted the tactics of guerilla warfare and even cold-blooded murder. This book reveals the true story of the secret war, exploring the recruitment of new co-operatives, James Bond-style gadgets and the tortures and deaths suffered by those unable to avoid capture by the Gestapo. This is more than a war-time thriller, SECRET AGENT unearths the SOE'S genuine hidden war of occupied Europe.

In June 1940 Britain and her allies were driven off the continent by the German Army and with it lost any chance of fighting the Germans in Europe. With democracy on its knees and invasion imminent Britain needed a new style of warfare, and a new organisation to wage it...And so the Special Operations Executive was created. With a brief from Winston Churchill to 'go, set Europe ablaze', the SOE's job was to co-ordinate subversive and sabotage activity against the enemy by any means necessary, using explosives, guerrilla warfare, even cold-blooded murder. In short, to aid the war effort by any secret and underhand methods possible. This book introduces us to the people who fought this secret war: men like Monty Woodhouse who was parachuted into occupied Greece and, with the help of rival resistance groups, successfully destroyed an essential supply route for the Germans. It explores the recruitment of new operatives, the network of people and codes used to send information back and forth across the channel, and the James Bond-style gadgets that were designed to help them carry out their sabotage operations. It also touches on the torture and death suffered by those operatives unable to evade capture by the Gestapo. More than just a war-time thriller, Secret Agent presents the true story of the secret war fought in occupied Europe.
