In June 1940, British forces were driven from the continent by Hitler’s conquering armies. As Britain stared invasion in the face, a group of unconventional warriors planned a new form of warfare. The Special Operations Executive was born. With a brief from Winston Churchill ‘to set Europe ablaze’, this top-secret agency was given the dangerous task of co-ordinating subversion and sabotage against the enemy by all means necessary — using disguise, deception, bribery, explosives, guerrilla warfare and even assassination.
