From one of the foremost historians of the period and the acclaimed author of Inferno and Catastrophe: 1914, The Secret War is a sweeping examination of one of the most important yet underexplored aspects of World War II - intelligence - showing how espionage successes and failures by the United States, Britain, Russia, Germany, and Japan influenced the course of the war and its final outcome.

Spies, codes, and guerrillas played unprecedentedly critical roles in the Second World War, exploited by every nation in the struggle to gain secret knowledge of its foes, and to sow havoc behind the fronts. In The Secret War, Max Hastings presents a worldwide cast of characters and some extraordinary sagas of intelligence and resistance, to create a new perspective on the greatest conflict in history.

Any WWII student must read this. E.g.. USA decrypts vs. Bletchley Park decrypts, and human int. vs. signals int. vs HARD POWER!!!!

Great synthesis of WWII new and old info

This book had lots of details around the clandestine operations of WWII. Had so much detail that is was hard to follow for long periods of time.

Max Hastings does a great job of taking you from the upper levels of operations to the individual in the action. Well done

Good information

This is one of those books that you can better read than listen to. The subject matter is very well treated, the narrator does a well enough job, but a there's a lot to ingest and a regular need to look back a few pages at a name or a date. And that, as we all know, is rather difficult with an audiobook.

Better read than listened to

Very informational, flowed well.

A few shots at modern US policies that dampen the the book.

Good Book

I have always enjoyed reading/listening to Max Hastings books. He does not hold back on criticism of western (UK and US) activities. I am very glad he is not reviewing me at my job.

Great Book on unique topic

Narrator gives condescending English tone, next time select a woman narrator, preferably with a Scottish, welsh or Irish accent.

Narrator bland English.

Here is what one person wrote,

"Simply a joy from beginning to end. Entertaining, broad, deep, and filled with anecdotes and personal fates and stories.Pretty much a complete story on the subject."

I couldn't agree more. The narrator has a British accent which I think fits well with the telling of the tales. I've my share of reading on the subject and this book covers stories that I know about along with new insights into the would of espionage.

And I didn't find it tedious at all.

Enjoyable, informative with lots of information
