MEMORIES

PEN & SWORD (1 Oct 08)

Memoirs of military historian Professor M.R.D.Foot.

SOE IN FRANCE

FRANK CASS (24 Mar 04)

SOE IN FRNCE begins by explaining what SOE was, where it fitted into the Allied war machine, and how it worked in France. The narrative then recounts the adventures of its agents who worked on French soil. This intricate tale concentrates in the work of the 470-odd hand-picked men and women of the "independent French" section, although it also covers SOE`s five other sections that operated in France. All told, six sections despatched over 1,800 clandestine agents, who between them changed the course of the war. This updated new edition will be essential reading for scholars and for all those with an informed general interest in the activities of the SOE.

SIX FACES OF COURAGE

PEN & SWORD (30 Jul 03)

In this book M.R.D. Foot traces the secret lives of six members of various European resistance movements and networks, two women and four men, outstanding even in this brilliant company for their courage.
Through these six dramatic narratives, Foot shows vividly what was involved in wartime resistance, and what affected success or failure: liaison with London, relations between groups and individuals, agents` methods of work, the organisation of particular networks, and not least the perpetual counter-offensive of the Getsapo.
