Inside SOE: The Story of Special Observations in Western Europe 1940- 45
PRE-ISBN
OCLC Number: 1044472
16 plates (including portraits, facsimiles)
A history of the British Special Operations Executive published very shortly before MRD Foot's "SOE In France". Initially, for reasons of security, Mr Cooke was not given access to government files in Britain; so he instead started with human contacts (a distinguished list of names is given) in both Britain and abroad; finding much relevant information in files abroad.
E. H. Cookridge was himself, for a time, a prisoner at Dachau and Buchenwald.
