The history of Special Operations Executive (SOE) seems to
spring a never-ending run of surprises, and here are some
more. This book explores the mysterious world of the tools
SOE used for their missions of subversion and sabotage. An
often grim reality is confronted that is more akin with the
world of James Bond and Q's workshop than previously
believed. Written by two scientists, one of whom served in
the SOE and one who was tasked with clearing up after it was
disbanded; their insider knowledge presents a clear account
of the way in which SOE's inventors worked. From high
explosive technology to chemical and biological devices;
from the techniques of air supply to incendiarism; from
camouflage to underwater warfare; and from radio
communications to weaponry. SOE: The Scientific Secrets is a
revelation about the tools that allowed the murky world of
spying and spies to operate during wartime.
