SOE

An Outline History of the Special Operations Executive, 1940-1946

By: Michael Richard Daniell Foot

SOE, the Special Operations Executive, was a small, tough British secret service, a dirty tricks department, set up in July 1940. Recruited from remarkably diverse callings, the men and women who were members of this most secret agency in the Second World War lived in great and constant danger. Their job was to support and stimulate resistance behind enemy lines; their credentials fortitude, courage, immense patience and a devotion to freedom. The activity of the SOE was world-wide. Abyssinian tribesmen, French farmers, exiled Russian grandees, coolies, smugglers, printers, policemen, telephonists, tycoons, prostitutes, rubber workers, railwaymen, peasants from the Pyranees to the Balkans, even the regent of Siam - all had a part to play as saboteurs, informers, partisans or secret agents. In this engrossing and illuminating study, the eminent Second World War historian, M.R.D. Foot, sheds light on the heroism of individual SOE agents across the world and provides us with the definitive account of the Executive's crucial wartime work. With an introduction by David Stafford.

Memories of an S.O.E. Historian

By: Michael Richard Daniell Foot

Once I took the airgun out of the gun cupboard (a few paces away), found a slug for it, and in a thoughtless moment loaded and fired it at a cardboard box. Of course the slug shot through the box and broke a pane of glass at the bottom of the bookcase."Born in 1919, Michael Foot fought throughout Hitler's War, becoming an intelligence officer in Combined Operations Headquarters. Later he was an IO of the SAS Brigade, a fact he managed to conceal from the Germans after his capture in France. Michael was later handed the sensitive task of recording the activities of the Special Operations Executive. His fearless pursuit of the truth lead to a number of "incidents".
