Details: THE SECRET WAR OF SOE'S YOUNGEST AGENT AT THE HEART OF THE FRENCH REISTANCE, TONY BROOKS, WHO BUILT A VAST RESISTANCE ORGANISATION IN OCCUPIED FRANCE THAT DEFIED THE NAZIS FOR TWO YEARS UNTIL THE LIBERATION. In an age when we so often take our heroes from the worlds of sport, film, television, music, fashion, or just 'celebrity', it is perhaps salutary to be reminded of a young man who ended the war in command of a disparate force of some 10,000 armed resistance fighters, and decorated with two of this country's highest awards for gallantry, the DSO and MC. At the time, he was just twenty-three years old. This remarkable, detailed and intimate account of a clandestine agent's dangerous wartime career combines the historian's expert eye with the narrative colour of remembered events. As a study in courage, it has few, if any, equals.
