Description
Frank Foley was a man who risked his life to save thousands. As Passport Control Officer in Berlin, he used his position to smuggle Jews out of Germany and into safety. But what few people know is that this work was just the tip of the iceberg - Foley's true role as MI6 'Head of Station' made him one of the most dangerous spies of World War II. With no diplomatic immunity to protect him, Foley operated in a world of constant danger. He entered concentration camps to extract Jews, forged passports for those seeking refuge, and ignored rules to secure visas for Palestine. His bravery and ingenuity saved tens of thousands from the Holocaust. In this book, Michael Smith tells the extraordinary story of Foley's life and work with characteristic intelligence and humanity. Listen to Michael Smith discuss Foley on BBC Radio's Today.
