Secret Alliances by Tony Insall
In this extraordinary book, historian Tony Insall reveals how some of the most striking achievements of the Norwegian resistance were the detailed reports produced by intelligence agents living in the dangerous conditions of the country's desolate wilderness.
"Tony Insall's account and analysis is well-written and well-researched and contains many new insights and new details.. The book is undoubtedly essential, even indispensable, reading for anyone who is interested in Anglo-Norwegian relations and how it most likely made a substantial contribution to the Second World War as a global maritime conflict." - Journal of Strategic Studies "Brings some clarity to a complex picture of codenamed operations and agents ... [a] meticulous and enjoyable account." - RUSI Journal
