This book is an absorbing account of secret operations and
political intrigue in wartime Thailand. During World War II Free
Thai organizations cooperated with Allied intelligence agencies in
an effort to rescue their nation from the consequences of its 1941
alliance with Japan. They largely succeeded despite internal
differences and the conflicting interests and policies of their
would-be-allies, China, Great Britain and the United States.
London's determination to punish Thailand placed the British
Special Operations Executive (SOE) at a serious disadvantage in its
rivalry with the American Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The
US State Department, in contrast, strongly supported OSS operations
in Thailand, viewing them as a vehicle for promoting American
political and economic influence in mainland Southeast Asia.
Declassification of the records of the OSS and the SOE now permits
full revelation of this complex story of heroic action and
political intrigue.
