At the end of the Second World War, the Cabinet office commissioned an eminent academic, Professor William Mackenzie, to undertake a comprehensive secret history of the Special Operations Executive. Now, for the first time, this highly classified account has been made available. Never before have SOE's operations across the world been described in such detail and with total authority.
Mackenzie's document explores numerous controversies and reveals dozens of previously undisclosed episodes from Britain's secret war against the Axis. Who were the agents parachuted into Germany? Why did so many circuits suffer enemy penetration? Where was SOE's sabotage really effective? When did SOE decide to collaborate with the NKVD and infiltrate Soviet Spies into Eastern Europe?
