Description
The Secret Agent's Pocket Manual 1939-1945 by Stephen Bull is a unique insight into the training and techniques used by Allied agents operating behind enemy lines during World War II. This manual brings together a selection of dark arts, extraordinary objects, and techniques in their original form, providing an authentic picture of the Allied spy. The Second World War saw espionage and subterfuge play a significant role, with many areas becoming war zones due to the occupation of much of Europe. Partisans, spies, and saboteurs risked everything in a limbo where normal rules of war were suspended. The manual covers topics such as concealment, disguise, covert communications, silent killing, and guerrilla warfare, highlighting the evolving methods and hardware used by these agents. This collection of techniques and equipment offers a rare glimpse into the world of clandestine warfare during World War II, shedding light on the permanent presence of espionage in modern military and political scenes.
