    My absolute credit to this series. It's half tragedy and half amazing victory, but provides a fantastic insight into the operations of SOE through the second world war...and some horrific blunders that cost many lives. Although, this is more about resistance fighters and sabotage and not MI5 and MI6 pursuits on long term undercover work. Although, if you like sneaky sneaky warfare, then this is well worth the money. 12 hours (or there abouts) of amazing stories. And these arn't the usual recycled stories (as entertaining as they are!) it's (to me anyway) stuff I had never heard about. Infact, if you wrote a book, people wouldn't beleive it was possible. It's certainly a shame most of these people are dead though. There are certainly a few people I would have enjoyed talking to in person and would have bought them a drink too!
