Description
The collapse of SOE's Prosper resistance circuit in France in June 1943 remains one of the most intriguing unsolved mysteries of World War II. Major Francis Suttill's son meticulously uncovers the truth behind this sudden collapse, exploring the various theories that have emerged over time. Through a detailed examination of the organisation and work of the circuit, the book sheds new light on the enormous risks faced by those who resisted and what their bravery achieved. This is one of the most comprehensive records of a resistance circuit ever published, providing a fascinating insight into this pivotal moment in history. By tracing the events leading up to the collapse, Major Suttill's son provides a nuanced understanding of the complex web of relationships and motivations that contributed to this dramatic turn of events.
