a narrative of war that has much of Patrick O'Brian about it. -- Carmen Callil * GUARDIAN *
excellent account of a woefully understudied 'war within a war'...Astonishingly, this is the first book -- Andrew Roberts * LITERARY REVIEW *
Smith's considerable achievement is to unmask the reality and make us understand this painful period far better than ever before. * CATHOLIC HERALD *
"a classic on the conflict with Hitlers Vichy allies... a superb book on an astonishing array of long-buried incidents." * OXFORD TIMES *
