Description
SOE in the Low Countries by M. R. D. Foot is a detailed examination of the secret operations conducted by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in Belgium and the Netherlands during World War II. The author sheds new light on two of the most complex and controversial episodes of SOE's history, revealing a tangled web of Whitehall politics, security breaches, and bravery in the face of capture. Foot's analysis draws on official records to uncover the truth behind these events, which have long been shrouded in mystery. This book provides a gripping account of the SOE agents who risked everything to resist the Nazi occupation, and the mistakes that were made by those responsible for their operations.
