À propos de cet audio

Six gentlemen, one goal: the destruction of Hitler's war machine

In the spring of 1939, a top-secret organization was founded in London: Its purpose was to plot the destruction of Hitler's 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 Hitler's favorite, Reinhard Heydrich. Another, William Fairbairn, was a portly pensioner with an unusual passion: He was the world's 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 handpicked by Winston Churchill whom he called his Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Churchill's 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.

Simply Epic!

What an amazing story! So excellently delivered by the author. The detail Mr Milton went to in his research really brought the characters to life and put me in the action.
Normally WW2 books still feel black and white (like the old pictures you see) but this felt like full HD colour!
So much fun, Highly recommended.
My only complaint was that I wish it was longer!
Already pre-ordered his next book Checkmate in Berlin!!!

Amazingly done through and through

Not a storyline I would normally choose to listen to or read however I was pleasantly surprised! Giles is a fantastic story teller.

not a book about churchill

I bought this book to learn more about how churchill did things, however this book is basically detailed information about operations covert teams they did against Germany. it is still interesting to know that in the end it was less about churchill and more about individuals who went to extreme to make things happen ! it gives you a perspective if your comfortable daily life stresses you out !
