The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

Description

"In the bleak moments after defeat in 1940, Winston Churchill knew that Britain had to strike back hard, no holds barred. He called for the development of a completely new form of warfare, recruiting a band of eccentric free-thinkers to become the world's first deniable, secret operatives, and offering these volunteers little but a blaze of glory and all-but-certain death. This is the incredible true story of the daring victories scored by this small band of 'freelance pirates', undertaking devastatingly effective missions against the Nazis, and breaking all the rules of war. Led by the wild British eccentric Gus March-Phillipps, but increasingly commanded by the fearsome Danish Viking Anders Lassen, master storyteller Damien Lewis brings the adventures of this secret unit to life, drawing on the first-hand testimonies of those who served in a unit that came to define modern-day black operations."
