David Stafford is widely recognized as one of the preeminent
writers on the subject of British secret intelligence. Compiled
through interviews with ex-operatives breaking long silence on the
subject, Secret Agent is the in-depth account of how the
British, facing World War II, created the Special Operations
Executive to coordinate subversion and sabotage tactics against the
enemy. Disguise, deception, bribery, explosives, guerilla warfare,
and even assassination were on the agenda, and Stafford thrillingly
details not only how operatives were recruited, but their daring
operations, the radio and coding systems that kept them in touch
with London, and the James Bond-style gadgets designed to help them
carry out their missions.
