Between 1941 and 1944, the Germans and the Italians imposed a
brutal occupation of Greece. This, as well as the outbreak of
famine, drove many Greeks to join a variety of resistance movements
in the mountains. The British government anticipated the German
occupation of Europe and created the Special Operations Executive
(SOE). One directorate of the SOE was responsible for partisan
activity in the mountains and another directorate focused on
encouraging espionage and sabotage in Greek cities. Over 3000
Greeks and British operated espionage networks that made a
significant contribution to the war effort in the Mediterranean.
Unfortunately the work of the spy and saboteur working in the
shadows remained classified until the end of the twentieth century.
The release of SOE documents in the twenty-first century provides
an amazing insight into how intelligence operations were a critical
part of the Allied victory of the Second World War. The aim of the
book is to bring to life the stories of the ghosts of the shadow
war.
