Description
The Scientific Secrets of SOE explores the lesser-known world of Special Operations Executive's technological innovations during wartime. Written by two scientists with unique insights into the organisation, this book delves into the development of high explosive technology, chemical and biological devices, air supply techniques, camouflage methods, underwater warfare strategies, and radio communications systems. From the creation of incendiary devices to the design of weaponry, "SOE: The Scientific Secrets" sheds light on the often-overlooked role of science in espionage. This account is based on insider knowledge, providing a clear understanding of how SOE's inventors worked together to support their missions. By examining the tools and techniques used by SOE, this book offers a fresh perspective on the organisation's history and its contributions to wartime efforts.
