IAN FLEMING AND SOE’S OPERATION POSTMASTER

BY BRIAN LETT PUBLISHED BY PEN AND SWORD A team of secret agents sailed a Q ship to West Africa and stole three enemy ships from a neutral Spanish port on the volcanic island of Fernando Po. The British Government concealed the true nature of the mission by providing a cover story. As a result, a secrecy embargo enveloped Operation POSTMASTER until recently. The author, an experienced criminal Queen’s Counsel, proves beyond doubt that this thrilling operation, and the men who carried it out, were the inspiration for Fleming’s James Bond.

MI9: ESCAPE AND EVASION

BY M.R.D. FOOT, J.M. LANGLEY PUBLISHED BY BITEBACK BOOKS Many of the most famous escapes in history took place during WWII. These daring flights from Nazi-occupied Europe would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the secret British service: MI9. It sent money, maps, clothes, compasses, even hacksaws, and in return coded letters from the prisoner-of-war camps and gave news of the enemy. Understaffed and under-resourced, MI9 still made a huge contribution to the Allied war effort. First published in 1979, this book tells the full, inside story of an extraordinary organisation.

HOLOCAUST

BY STEPHEN WYNN PUBLISHED BY PEN AND SWORD This book looks at the build up to WWII, from the time of Hitler’s appointment. It explores the Nazi’s rise to power in a country that was still struggling to recover after WWI, whilst also making life extremely difficult for German Jews. It explores a wartime Nazi Germany and how the dislike of Jews had gone from painting the star of David on shop windows, to their mass murder in the thousands of concentration camps that were built. It also looks at some of those who were to blame for the attrocities that were carried out in the name of Nazism.
