To pave the way for the Allied liberation of France, spies and resistance fighters were ordered (in Churchill's words) 'to set Europe ablaze'. The 'Jedburgh' teams were created in 1943 to do just that. It was the first modern multi-national combat unit: American, British and French soldiers combined to form a unique special forces organization. They fought in uniform, behind German lines, and played a key role in the Allied victory in 1944. Roger Ford has tracked down survivors and their after-action reports to tell their amazing story: classic 'behind the lines' real life action.

Steel from the Sky
Ziesche focuses on the role of Americans in the French Revolution and the effect of the French Revolution on governance in the United States. I lack enough knowledge about the French Revolution to make useful conclusions, but the book is very well researched and the topic is examined deeply. In addition, it's fascinating to think about the ongoing effects of the American & French Revolutions, and to compare the universal ambitions of American revolutionaries to our efforts at "nation-building" today. Worth the read although I recommend reading a standard history of the French Revolution first to get the participants and events straight.
