DESCRIPTION:
During World War II, the isolated country estate of Beaulieu became the principal training camp for the Special Operations Executive (SOE), Britain's premier wartime espionage and subversion organization.
"Brilliant look into the Special Operations Executive" according to Cool Stuff on Amazon. Fascinating look into the training of British spies in the Special Operations Executive during World War II. This is written by an actual SOE member. I found it fascinating at how meticulous and dedicated the British were in fighting for their country. The SOE was founded by Winston Churchill to proactively meet the enemy on foreign soil and use every method of subversion and subterfuge to defeat the Germans. I found it to be well-written and highly informative. I highly recommend it.. Suze said BRILLIANT WORK. Full disclosure: my uncle went through Beaulieu as did so many who were SOE agents in-training.

My uncle died just before the war ended during his 2nd mission and no one in the family truly knew his story. This book sheds a lot of light, is superbly informative and very well written. The research is thorough and the account convincing. A lot of ink has been written on SOE and this book makes a useful addition as it highlights the importance of Beaulieu in the the history of the Second World War. For those who did not live through the war, we are always humbled and awed by the bravery of those who did. We must never forget!. nd mission and no one in the family truly knew his story.

I was expecting some exciting stories and events surrounding the formation and activities of this training site. I couldn't even make it halfway through.Mr. Cunningham has obviously done quite a bit of research. There are a lot of details I can't wrap my head around the organisation of those details. That seems to be the crux of the problem.WIth the inclusion of the names of the buildings on the Matagu estate (what is it with those Brits and naming their homes?), the changes in the labels (1st The Rings, then STS 31, then STS 36), the British names (first the title
