This review is from: Beaulieu: The Finishing School for Secret Agents (Paperback)

Full disclosure: my uncle went through Beaulieu as did so many who were SOE agents in-training. My uncle died just before the war ended during his 2nd mission and no one in the family truly knew his story. This book sheds a lot of light, is superbly informative and very well written. The research is thorough and the account convincing. A lot of ink has been written on SOE and this book makes a useful addition as it highlights the importance of Beaulieu in the the history of the Second World War. For those who did not live through the war, we are always humbled and awed by the bravery of those who did. We must never forget!
