Undercover The Men and Women of the Special Operations Executive Routledge Library Editions: WW2 Series

This book, first published in 1980, is an invaluable assessment of SOE?s contribution to the Allied victory. From both first-hand knowledge (Howarth served with SOE for 4 years) and in-depth research, this book traces the development of the organisation and its successes and failures. By bringing to life some of the outstanding men and women who served in SOE, this book pays tribute to their bravery and examines their role in fomenting and supporting clandestine resistance against the Nazi regime.
