Discover the riveting history of espionage in World War II with 'No Moon As Witness: Missions of the SOE and OSS in World War II' by author James Stejskal. This hardback edition, measuring 152 x 228 mm and comprising 208 pages, dives deep into the extraordinary missions undertaken by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the American Office of Strategic Services (OSS). With a publication date of July 31, 2021, this book is fresh and insightful.

Journey through the harrowing and heroic stories of agents who, under Winston Churchill's directive to 'Set Europe ablaze!', infiltrated occupied Europe. These specially trained operatives performed vital missions involving sabotage, intelligence-gathering, and forming resistance groups against the Nazi regime. Explore notable achievements such as the destruction of the Vemork heavy water plant in Norway, the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, and the establishment of crucial anti-Nazi resistance networks across Europe.

'No Moon As Witness' details the tremendous risks faced by these brave operatives, where the life expectancy of an SOE wireless operator in occupied France was alarmingly short. With deep research into their training, innovative gadgets, and the operations that changed the course of history, this book is an essential read for enthusiasts of World War II history, military espionage, and covert operations.

Winston Churchill famously instructed the head of the Special Operations Executive to "Set Europe ablaze!" Agents of both the British Special Operations Executive and the American Office of Strategic Services underwent rigorous training before making their way, undetected, into Occupied Europe. Working alone or in small cells, often cooperating with local resistance groups, agents undertook missions behind enemy lines involving sabotage, subversion, organizing resistance groups and intelligence-gathering. The SOE's notable successes included the destruction of a power station in France, the assassination of Himmler's deputy Reinhard Heyrich, and ending the Nazi atomic bomb program by destroying the heavy water plant at Vemork, Norway. OSS operatives established anti-Nazi resistance groups across Europe, and managed to smuggle operatives into Nazi Germany, including running one of the war's most important spies, German diplomat Fritz Kolbe. All of their missions were incredibly dangerous and many agents were captured, tortured, and ultimately killed - the life expectancy of an SOE wireless operator in occupied France was just six weeks. In No Moon as Witness, historian James Stejskal examines why these agencies were established, the training regimen and ingenious tools developed to enable agents to undertake their missions, their operational successes, and their legacy.

Beautiful Bag
Color: Coffee
I really love this purse. It is large enough for all my things, including my Kindle, but not too large to find small items. The one negative is that I pick my purse up by the top, and the leather is becoming scratched and faded. I have only had it a few months unfortunately.

Perfect Small Purse
Color: Coffee
I love this little purse. It's not too big or too small. It is perfect! It IS leather in spite of what others have written. It has that wonderful leather smell. I bought the coffee color to match some boots I have. It's very roomy inside and the 3 zipper compartments are just the right size. I highly recommend this product. My hairdresser fell in love with this purse and is going to buy one for herself 🙂

Great medium crossbody purse
Color: Brown
Really like this purse. Attractive, large enough but not too large. It isn’t leather as stated but price would have told that anyway. Love the style, color and straps length.
