SOE Secret Operations Manual

This rare document is the original used to train special agents dropped behind enemy lines in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. Used by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) and its American counterpart, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), it is an authentic, word-for-word reproduction obtained from a former operative with the clandestine services. It includes sections on ciphers, propaganda, selection of targets, methods of attack, passive resistance, the liaison agent, interrogation and more. The forerunner of all U.S. government guides to sabotage, propaganda, interrogation, burglary and other dirty tricks, this extraordinary historical document makes for riveting reading.
