The Secret Agent's Pocket Manual
Compiled from authentic documents originally issued by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS), this book gives a remarkable insight into how Allied agents operated behind enemy lines during the Second World War. With most of Continental Europe under Nazi occupation, partisans and saboteurs risked everything to hinder and disrupt the movement of German machinery and personnel, lower morale through the spread of rumour and distribution of propaganda materials, and encourage resistance movements and the citizen-saboteur. The book opens with The Partisan Leader's Handbook, written in 1939 by the original 'M'. Other documents cover self-defence techniques and the art of disguise, propaganda efforts and a sabotage field manual.
