This is not a novel. This is not a historical account. This is, in fact, the training manual of the S.O.E in World War 2... and not little excerpts (like some authors offer...) this is the whole manual; over 500 pages!

(M.I.6), it was soon picked up and used by the American OSS (the originators of the CIA). In great detail, it describes such subjects as Explosives, Fieldcraft, Cyphers, and Propoganda. Great care has been taken to deliver the manual in its ...
