Full Description
In this
extraordinary book, historian Tony Insall reveals how some of the most striking
achievements of the Norwegian resistance were the detailed reports produced by
intelligence agents living in the dangerous conditions of the country's
desolate wilderness.
Secret
Alliances
provides remarkable insights into the uniquely close political relationship
that afforded powerful assistance for a successful resistance movement. Using
previously unpublished archival material from London, Oslo and Moscow, Insall
explores how SIS and SOE developed productive links with their Norwegian
counterparts - and examines the crucial intelligence from the Security Service
and Bletchley Park codebreakers who supported their sabotage operations.
Offering
dramatic details on operations such as Gunnerside
- which targeted the heavy water plant in Vemork in order to foil the Nazis'
plans to build an atomic bomb - and the sinking of the Tirpitz in November 1944, Secret Alliances is an authoritative new perspective on some of the most
remarkable exploits of the Second World War.
