Why read it?
1 author picked Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the inside story of SOE. It focuses on the men who were at the helm of this secret organisation. Some of them invented the tools which allowed agents to do their jobs—a limpet mine, pens that concealed a knife, even exploding horse dung.

Invaluable information for my research.
From Hilary's list on The best books about the secret world of plot and counter plot during World War ll.
