Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

- The Mavericks Who Plotted Hitler's Defeat

Om Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

Six Gentlemen, One Goal: the Destruction of HitlerΓÇÖs War Machine In the spring of 1939, a top-secret organization was founded in London: its purpose was to plot the destruction of HitlerΓÇÖs war machine, through spectacular acts of sabotage. The guerrilla campaign that followed was every bit as extraordinary as the six men who directed it. One of them, Cecil Clarke, was a maverick engineer who had spent the 1930s inventing futuristic caravans. Now, his talents were put to more devious use: he built the dirty bomb used to assassinate HitlerΓÇÖs favorite, Reinhard Heydrich. Another, William Fairbairn, was a portly pensioner with an unusual passion: he was the worldΓÇÖs leading expert in silent killing, hired to train the guerrillas being parachuted behind enemy lines. Led by dapper Scotsman Colin Gubbins, these men---along with three others---formed a secret inner circle that, aided by a group of formidable ladies, single-handedly changed the course of the Second World War: a cohort hand-picked by Winston Churchill, whom he called his Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Giles Milton''s ChurchillΓÇÖs Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a gripping and vivid narrative of adventure and derring-do that is also, perhaps, the last great untold story of the Second World War.

Beskrivning av Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

Six Gentlemen, One Goal: the Destruction of HitlerΓÇÖs War Machine
In the spring of 1939, a top-secret organization was founded in London: its purpose was to plot the destruction of HitlerΓÇÖs war machine, through spectacular acts of sabotage.
The guerrilla campaign that followed was every bit as extraordinary as the six men who directed it. One of them, Cecil Clarke, was a maverick engineer who had spent the 1930s inventing futuristic caravans. Now, his talents were put to more devious use: he built the dirty bomb used to assassinate HitlerΓÇÖs favorite, Reinhard Heydrich. Another, William Fairbairn, was a portly pensioner with an unusual passion: he was the worldΓÇÖs leading expert in silent killing, hired to train the guerrillas being parachuted behind enemy lines. Led by dapper Scotsman Colin Gubbins, these men---along with three others---formed a secret inner circle that, aided by a group of formidable ladies, single-handedly changed the course of the Second World War: a cohort hand-picked by Winston Churchill, whom he called his Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Giles Milton''s ChurchillΓÇÖs Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a gripping and vivid narrative of adventure and derring-do that is also, perhaps, the last great untold story of the Second World War.
