During the Second World War, the British government established the Special Operations Executive (SOE) for the purpose of coordinating \u2018all action, by way of subversion and sabotage, against the enemy overseas\u2019. Although the overseas operations of this branch of the British Secret Services are relatively well known, few studies have explored the \u2018backroom sections\u2019 of this organisation. This book draws together the infrastructure developed to support an agent\u2019s \u2018journey\u2019 from recruitment to despatch to the field.
