Eisenhower's Guerrillas
The challenges facing General Dwight Eisenhower before the Invasion of Normandy were not merely military but political as well. He knew that to liberate France, and to hold it, the Allies needed local help, which would necessitate coordinating with the highly independent French resistance groups known collectively as the maquis. The Allies' objective was to push the Germans out of France. The French objective, on the other hand, was a France free of all foreign armies, including the Allies. President Roosevelt refused to give full support to Charles de Gaulle, whom he mistrusted, and declined to supply the timing, location, and other key details of Operation Overlord to his Free French gover...
Unearthing Churchill's Secret Army
The Special Operations Executive was one of the most secretive organizations of the Second World War, its activities cloaked in mystery and intrigue. The fate, therefore, of many of its agents was not revealed to the general public other than the bare details carved with pride upon the headstones and memorials of those courageous individuals.Then in 2003, the first batch of SOE personal files was released by the National Archive. Over the course of the following years more and more files were made available. Now, at last, it is possible to tell the stories of all those agents that died in action.These are stories of bravery and betrayal, incompetence and misfortune, of brutal torture and ult...
The Global Infrastructure of the Special Operations Executive
During the Second World War, the British government established the Special Operations Executive (SOE) for the purpose of coordinating ‘all action, by way of subversion and sabotage, against the enemy overseas’. Although the overseas operations of this branch of the British Secret Services are relatively well known, few studies have explored the ‘backroom sections’ of this organisation. This book draws together the infrastructure developed to support an agent’s ‘journey’ from recruitment to despatch to the field. At the start of the Second World War there were few existing facilities established within the UK to support clandestine operations. As the conflict progressed, in par...
Smashing Hitler's Guns
Written by one of the world's leading experts on D-Day, Smashing Hitler's Guns is a ground-breaking new history of the legendary Rangers' attack on Pointe-du-Hoc. The Ranger attack on the German gun batteries at Pointe-du-Hoc in the early morning hours of D-Day is the stuff of legend. The gun batteries were strategically positioned between the two American D-Day landing beaches, and were considered the main threat to the Operation Neptune landings. In spite of the confusion and chaos of the June 6, 1944 mission, the Rangers succeeded in scaling the 100-foot cliffs, but the guns were nowhere to be found. Spreading out in all directions, a Ranger team managed to find and spike the guns at thei...

Les grandes noirceurs
1942: en pleine crise de la conscription, Esther et David, deux jeunes Juifs montréalais, s’enrôlent dans le mystérieux Special Operations Executive (SOE) pour aider la Résistance en France. Leurs destins croiseront ceux de Klaus Barbie, le «boucher de Lyon», de Noor Inayat Khan, princesse et opératrice radio pourchassée par la Gestapo, et de Guy d’Artois, officier du Royal 22e régiment parachuté dans le maquis. De son côté, Mathilde vit la guerre de l’intérieur, comme infirmière au Jewish Hospital, pendant que les nazis appliquent la «solution finale» en Europe. À la fin de la guerre, le Waffen SS français Jacques Dugé de Bernonville se réfugie à Montréal. Condamné à mort en France pour crimes de guerre, le milicien est accueilli avec chaleur par plusieurs et traqué sans relâche par d’autres. Montréal, Londres, Paris, Lyon, Dachau, Saint-Pacôme de Kamouraska: le théâtre des grandes noirceurs qui s’abattent sur le monde est vaste et complexe. Si la haine et la mort sont parfois au rendez-vous, le courage et la résistance surgissent là où on s’y attend le moins.
Undercover Agent
Tony Brooks was unique. He was barely out of school when recruited in 1941 by the Special Operations Executive (SOE), the wartime secret service established by Churchill to 'set Europe ablaze'. After extensive training he was parachuted into France in July 1942 - being among the first (and youngest) British agents sent to support the nascent French Resistance. Brook's success was primarily due to his exceptional qualities as a secret agent, although he was aided by large and frequent slices of luck. Among much else, he survived brushes with a British traitor and a notorious double agent; the Gestapo's capture of his wireless operator and subsequent attempts to trap Brooks; brief incarceratio...
