Rediscovering Irregular Warfare by A R B Linderman
Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE) is often described as Winston Churchill's brainchild. But as A.R.B. Linderman reveals in this engrossing history, the real genius behind Britain's clandestine warriors was Colin Gubbins, a British officer who forged the SOE by drawing on lessons learned in irregular conflicts around the world.-
