The undercover agents of this elite group blew up special targets, armed and trained the Resistance, acted as political advisors, and all too frequently gave their lives in the most terrible circumstances. Detested by its rivals-and even in parts of Whitehall-it had free rein to create mayhem., Set Europe ablaze: that was Winston Churchill's order to the Special Operations Executive (the SOE), charged with sabotaging and subverting the enemy during World War II.
