Winston Churchill authorised the creation of a new wartime secret
service, the Special Operations Executive(SOE), with the order "And
now set Europe ablaze". On behalf of the Secret WW2 Network, an
educational charity dedicated to revealing hitherto-secret
operations to the current generation, Paul McCue tells a main story
of four Brighton and Hove-born agents honoured with blue plaques.
He details the organisation's creation and post-war demise, its
training methods and the missions of the four chief subjects. He
also covers three other agents, a special duties RAF pilot and the
inspiration for 'Q', the inspired 'boffin' of the James Bond books
and films - all of whom had links with the city.Some enjoyed great
success, others were doomed to failure and death, but all displayed
the volunteer spirit and courage that saw Britain through the
darkest days of the Second World War. Their stories, largely little
known,deserve to be told.
