"Here, told for the first time, is the full story of the undercover work by French
Intelligence during the Second World War. It is exciting, dramatic and written
with the authority of a writer who has had access to documents not previously
available to the general public.
We are introduced to a cloak-and-dagger world of intrigue and sudden death, of
espionage and counter-espionage, and of the struggle against tremendous odds to
outwit the Gestapo during the Occupation.
The author's views on de Gaulle and Petain will undoubtedly excite

work on espionage, is in its painstaking and completely factual analysis of the
mechanics of the legendary Second Bureau in wartime. ..."
