One of the lasting legacies of World War 2 was the proliferation of what today are known as Special Forces. At the time many soldiers, often of high rank regarded these units as nothing short of ill-disciplined cowboys or worse! However desperate times called for desperate measures and there were those in high places who were prepared to take risks. As specially recruited units such as the LRDG, SAS and SBS earned their spurs and scored significant victories, at high cost both to the enemy and themselves, so faith in the concept grew.
Philip Warner's book takes a highly informed look at the broad spectrum of secret forces, of all sides, describing their origins and training, the key personalities and their actions and achievements.

Secret Forces Of World War Two
Pretty interesting collection of stories about spies and spying. Most of the work concentrated on the golden age of codebreaking - namely WWII, and the author did a good job of supporting his de-mythification of some of the most famous and fascinating cases. He did a good job of setting the context for codebreaking within the wider world of espionage, and finished up with some more modern examples of codebreakers and espionage. The writing was clear and concise, the narrative was exciting without tipping over into gee-whiz-spies! territory. I could have stood to read a few more, I was enjoying it so much. Definitely an interesting read.
