Publisher Description
One of the most remarkable stories in the history of Special Forces' operations - Daily Express
In the bleak moments after defeat on mainland Europe in winter 1939, wartime leader Winston Churchill knew that Britain had to strike back hard.
He recruited a band of eccentric free-thinking warriors to become the first 'deniable' secret operatives behind enemy lines, offering these volunteers nothing but the potential for glory and all-but-certain death.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare tells of the daring victories for this small force of 'freelance pirates' in their many missions against the Nazis, often dressed in enemy uniforms and breaking all previously held rules of warfare.
Master storyteller and military historian Damien Lewis brings the true adventures of the secret unit to life, from their earliest missions to the death of the group's leader just weeks before the end of World War Two.
Customer Reviews
The ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
A riveting book about unsung heroes. Damien Lewis has done his research. I wonder if he was inspired during his Band of Brothers time. He does these men Justice
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
A much needed telling of the stories needing to be told. Guerrilla tactics in warfare are the most effective physical and mental tool to undermine the efforts of your enemy.
A Fitting Tribute and wonderful Read
I am only recently bringing myself up to speed on these operations and how they affected WW2.
The men who carried them out were unique in character, confidence, and courage. Something that I believe has been lost over the decades since .
I hope others will find time to remember these ungentlemanly gentlemen for the services they provided. The reader will certainly build a respect for them in the pages of this book.
