Summary: Aweful -- not worth reading! Slapped together oral history
Review: This book seems like a real rush job. There were no maps and no narrative to tie the stories together. It's hardly complete the most important campiagns such as Germany are missing.

OSS is given short shift to compared to SOE

Flow is aweful and very disjointed even for an oral history.

Rating:
Summary: Terrific oral history
Review: This is exactly what it purports to be, a compendium of personal narratives of World War II era spies. The previous reviewer's opinion might be given more weight if the word "awful" were spelled correctly. Five stars to help balance the previous negative review: real rating, about 4 stars.
