'Roderick Bailey's assembly of tales deserves a warm welcome, both for readability - there is not a dull page - and for surprise: a great deal of it is unknown to [the] general public' - MRD Foot, official historian of SOE, Literary Review

'Roderick Bailey has skilfully braided their stories into a coherent narrative, and the quality of their egregious courage catches at the heart' - Spectator

'...a fascinating and at times gruesome and moving read, and is an ideal introduction to the whole subject of the SOE...thoroughly recommended' - BBC Who Do You Think You Are Magazine
