A thrilling history of MI9-the WWII organization that engineered
the escape of Allied forces from behind enemy lines When Allied
fighters were trapped behind enemy lines, one branch of military
intelligence helped them escape: MI9. The organization set up
clandestine routes that zig-zagged across Nazi-occupied Europe,
enabling soldiers and airmen to make their way home. Secret agents
and resistance fighters risked their lives and those of their
families to hide the men. Drawing on declassified files and
eye-witness testimonies from across Europe and the United States,
Helen Fry provides a significant reassessment of MI9's wartime
role. Central to its success were figures such as Airey Neave,
Jimmy Langley, Sam Derry, and Mary Lindell-one of only a few women
parachuted into enemy territory for MI9. This astonishing account
combines escape and evasion tales with the previously untold
stories behind the establishment of MI9-and reveals how the
organization saved thousands of lives.
