MI9: A History of the Secret Service for Escape and Evasion in World War Two The story of MI9, the wartime organization that helped Allied forces escape from behind enemy lines, is one of remarkable bravery and ingenuity. From clandestine routes crisscrossing Nazi-occupied Europe to secret agents risking their lives to hide downed airmen, this account reveals the previously untold stories behind the establishment of MI9 and its crucial role in saving thousands of lives. Declassified files and eyewitness testimonies from across Europe and the United States provide a significant reassessment of MI9's wartime role, shedding light on the key figures who made it all possible, including Airey Neave, Jimmy Langley, Sam Derry, and Mary Lindell. This book combines escape and evasion tales with the previously untold stories behind MI9's creation, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of wartime espionage and resistance.
