About The Book
Description
Author
<p><em>SOE in France</em> was first published in 1966 followed by a second impression with amendments in 1968. Since these editions were published other material on SOE has become available. It was therefore agreed in 2000 that Professor Foot should produce a revised version. In so doing in addition to the material in the first edition the author has had access to previously closed government records as well as drawing upon his own invaluable wartime experiences and the recollections of those involved.<br><br><em>SOE in France</em> begins by explaining what SOE was where it fitted into the Allied war machine and how it worked in France. The narrative then recounts the adventures of its agents who worked on French soil. This intricate tale concentrates on the work of the 400 hand-picked men and women of the 'independent French' section although it also covers SOE's five other sections that operated mainly in France. All told the six sections despatched over 1800 clandestine agents who between them changed the course of the war. This updated new edition will be essential reading for scholars and for all those with an informed general interest in the activities of the SOE.</p>
