Cloak Of Enemies - Churchills SOE Enemies At Home And The Cockleshell
Heroes

Product Description

SOE was born from Churchill's vision to set ' Europe ablaze'. However, Tom Keene's book reveals for the first time how close it came to never existing at all. Many saw SOE as a threat to the existence of MI5 & other intelligence agencies, & some in the armed forces refused to work with the new agency, fearing its broad remit & lack of experienced operatives. SOE, in turn, became ever more secretive, hiding details of their operations from anyone outside the agency. This backstabbing climate of rivalry, confusion & secrecy, not only nearly destroyed SOE, but also had tragic repercussions for the daring Commandos who took part in the legendary ' Cockleshell Raid'. Cloak of Enemies exposes the secret war within Whitehall & its far-reaching consequences.
