Was principled gentleman Winston Churchill also the master of nasty tactics? You bet he was Winston Churchill had done it all. In the British Army, he had fought in India and Egypt, been under fire, and returned it; hed killed the enemy. Churchill was captured, put in a PoW camp, and escaped, surviving behind enemy lines for weeks. Hed invented tanks, floating harbors, grenade launchers; turns out Germans did the worst thing possible... theyd attacked Britain and made Churchill mad. With his back to the wall in 1940, & Nazi invasion imminent, not only did Churchill use every trick in the book... with the uncovering of new WW2 secrets, it turns out he actually wrote the book Literally But Churchills Secret Armies is not a biography of the famous leader; it is a look at the fruits of his labor, the book discloses the plethora of special forces, units, and departments, Churchill formed to get the job done. This was not a gentlemans war; this was back-to-the-wall fighting dirty, and Churchill was a master. From the birth of the well-known British Commandoes to the obscure Cichociemni (Polish Special Forces)... From the code breakers at Bletchley Park to the men of the 712th Survey Flotilla (who surveyed the Normandy beaches)... Churchills Secret Armies is a page-turner for the history buff, and an absolute must-read for anyone who thinks they know all about World War Two.
