When Neville Chamberlain made his famous Peace in Our Time
statement in 1938, after the Munich Agreement with Hitler, he may,
or may not, have been aware that the new Section D of the Secret
Intelligence Service was already making plans to mount an all-out
political and sabotage war against Nazi Germany. This was a new
form of warfare, encompassing bribery, black propaganda and
sabotage by agents described as having no morals or scruples. To
the horror of many, it disregarded the conventions of neutrality
and was prepared to hit the Nazi state wherever it could do most
damage. Malcolm Atkin reveals how Section Ds struggle to build a
European wide anti-Nazi resistance movement was met with widespread
suspicion from government, to the extent of a systematic
destruction of its reputation. It was, however, a key pioneer of
irregular warfare that led to the formation of the famous Special
Operations Executive (SOE). His study is the first in-depth account
of it to be published since the release of previously secret
documents to the National Archives.
