A Dangerous Enterprise

"Tim Spicer has written a thrilling and definitive account of one of the Second World War's most audacious clandestine operations," Swain said. "His book captures perfectly the mood and atmosphere of this secret world. It recounts with clarity and honesty the drama of these crossings, the slip-ups and betrayals, which so often led to capture, torture and death, and the resilience, comradeship and humour shared by those at sea and on land in the face of danger."There is enough derring-do here to fill a James Bond novel, no coincidence perhaps, because Ian Fleming, in his wartime role attached to the director of Naval Intelligence, was no stranger to these epic missions. It is a triumph of storytelling."
