Secret Pigeon Service by Gordon Corera

Secret Pigeon Service by Gordon Corera

Gordon Corera uses declassified documents and extensive original research to tell the story of MI14(d) and the Secret Pigeon Service for the first time. This is an amazing story Simon Mayo, BBC Radio 2

‘An amazing story… Well-researched and well-told, as much about humans as pigeons, it is replete with eccentric Englishmen, ruthless Nazis, and brave resisters in occupied Europe who risk their lives for the Allied cause’ Nicholas Reynolds, author of Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy

‘Once you’ve read this book you’ll never look at a pigeon disdainfully again…As I read it, I found myself muttering, again and again, the World War II expression: “It’s too fantastic.” It really is … No Frederick Forsyth thriller could be as gripping as this real-life story … Corera’s gripping book is an intoxicating mixture of comedy and high seriousness’ Daily Mail

‘[An] extraordinary, colourful and moving story…[a] thrilling tale’ Christopher Hart, Sunday Times

‘Corera is to be congratulated for bringing to light, with humour and verve, a virtually unknown chapter of the war’ Daily Telegraph
