In this extraordinary book, historian Tony Insall reveals how some
of the most striking achievements of the Norwegian resistance were
the detailed reports produced by intelligence agents living in the
dangerous conditions of the country's desolate wilderness. A
definitive appraisal of Anglo-Norwegian WWII cooperation, Secret
Alliances provides remarkable insights into the uniquely close
political relationship that afforded powerful assistance for a
successful resistance movement. Using previously unpublished
archival material from London, Oslo and Moscow, Insall explores how
SIS and SOE developed productive links with their Norwegian
counterparts - and examines the crucial intelligence from the
Security Service and Bletchley Park codebreakers who supported
their sabotage operations. Offering dramatic details on operations
such as GUNNERSIDE - which targeted the heavy water plant in Vemork
in order to foil the Nazis' plans to build an atomic bomb - and the
sinking of the Tirpitz in November 1944, Secret Alliances is an
authoritative new perspective on some of the most remarkable
exploits of the Second World War.
