Reviews

He scores over Macintyre one important point: he has done a lot of work on the archives of the Special Operations Executive. M R D Foot, Literary Review He has brought to light more than was previously known. M R D Foot, Literary Review Smyth's book gives an engaging picture of an exceptionally intricate, exceptionally secret piece of military deceit. MRD Foot, Literary Review Historians will rely on Denis Smyth, the general reader on Ben McIntyre; many will read and enjoy both. MRD Foot, Literary Review
