Title: They fought alone
Description: Ingeniously engineering acts of sabotage, resistance and terror in the face of the occupying Nazis, the SOE dealt devastating and fatal blows to the German war effort - and directly contributed to the rapid and successful advance of Allied forces across France in the days and months after D-Day. These memoirs of Colonel Maurice James Buckmaster, leader of the SOE's French Section, offer an insight into the courageous triumphs and terrible fates of the SOE's agents between 1941 and 1944.--From back cover.
