Description
BRIXMIS: The Last Cold War Mission The British Army's elite unit, BRIXMIS, played a crucial role in the Cold War, operating in secret behind enemy lines in post-war Germany. Established in 1949, their mission was to gather intelligence and steal advanced Soviet equipment, all while maintaining a trusted channel of communication with the Red Army. This complex and intriguing chapter in British military history is now revealed in a new light. Steve Gibson's book offers a fresh understanding of the British role in the Cold War, shedding light on the unit's covert operations and their impact on the era. With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, BRIXMIS's activities came to an end, but their legacy remains a fascinating and little-known aspect of the Cold War era. This book provides a detailed and insightful look at BRIXMIS, a unit that operated in the shadows, yet played a significant role in shaping the course of the Cold War.
