Sabotage & Subversion: Stories from the Files of the Soe and Oss

The shadowy undercover work of the American OSS and the British SOE, usually behind enemy lines or close to the action, makes a story of extraordinary daring and great personal heroism. In a compilation of actual events in World War II, this book demonstrates the important role of these two undercover organizations in the Allied victory. Using first-hand research with veterans and original archive material, it describes many covert actions and tactics: codebreaking, blockade running, guerilla action, bombing missions, sniper work, assassinations, running double agents, training work and recruitment methods in both the American OSS and the British SOE.
