reviewed Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers on April 20, 2014 Scientific Style and Format
A very interesting collection of first hand accounts by those involved with the Special Operations Executive or the OSS special operations during WW2. The book is split into chapters covering broad themes or areas of operation.
Almost all of the book is in the direct quotation from the various special operations personnel. This shows the attitudes they had to the work and the people that they dealt with. A number of the accounts talked about vetting people, both before operations in the UK and in the field overseas. What struck me was that the methods used in the field are similar to those used by terrorist organisations. I'd always sort of knew it, but this made it a little more real.
The other revelation for me was the lack of vindictiveness against the Gestapo in Europe. A couple of the agents talked about incidents where they could have killed or seriously wounded Gestapo officers, yet they didn't. Reading between the lines the implication is that doing so would have had a huge negative impact on the local populace. It may also have contributed to a surprising number of SOE agents surving over a year in captivity.
The book covers setting up SOE & OSS (a chapter each). Preparing agents to be deployed, operations in France, the Balkans, Norway, the Far East and also the post war wrap up in Germany.
