Praise for A Quiet Company of Dangerous Men "The heroic exploits of Britain's Special Operations soldiers finally receive in A Quiet Company of Dangerous Men a comprehensive and objective study, rich in humanity, anecdote, and, above all, relevance to a world once more in the throes of The Great Game."--Richard Bassett, author of Hitler's Spy Chief

Synopsis
"Well researched and riveting....The struggle of these four men against totalitarian injustice was noble, and this book memorializes it superbly."-- The Wall Street Journal The untold story of four special operations officers who fought together behind enemy lines across multiple theaters of World War II, and then continued to serve, officially and unofficially, for decades after in the hottest parts of the Cold War There have always been special warriors; Achilles and his Myrmidons are the obvious classical examples. What we now think of as "special operations," however, were born in World War II, and one of the earliest and most exciting units formed was Britain's SOE. In the early years of the war, when Britain stood alone against the Nazis, Winston Churchill put them on a mission to "set Europe ablaze" to foment local revolt, to gather intelligence, to blow up bridges, and to do anything that could help to disrupt the Axis cause. A Quiet Company of Dangerous Men follows four SOE officers who distinguished themselves in this fight: the Spanish Civil War veteran Peter Kemp, the demolitions expert David Smiley, the born guerrilla leader Billy McLean, and the political natural Julian Amery. With new and extensive research, including unprecedented access to private family papers that reveal the men's unbreakable bonds and vibrant personalities, Shannon Monaghan has uncovered a story of war in the twentieth century that, due to the secretive nature of the SOE's work, has remained largely unknown. A Quiet Company of Dangerous Men is a thrilling and inspiring story of four remarkable men who, through sheer determination and daring, as well as unwavering friendship and loyalty, fought for a better world., "Well researched and riveting....The struggle of these four men against totalitarian injustice was noble, and this book memorializes it superbly."- The Wall Street Journal The untold story of four special operations officers who fought together behind enemy lines across multiple theaters of World War II, and then continued to serve, officially and unofficially, for decades after in the hottest parts of the Cold War There have always been special warriors; Achilles and his Myrmidons are the obvious classical examples.

- e***0 (21)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufI give this seller 5 stars and would purchase from him again! There was a problem with this item - some of the units had developed rust during storage. The seller spotted the problem before shipment. Since he could't provide the item as advertised, he refunded my payment and sent me the items anyway thinking perhaps I could use some of them. I considered this an outstanding way to handle the issue and it made me a satisfied buyer. This kind of responsible action helps keep eBay working.Pack of 11 Everbilt 3-1/2 in. Satin Nickel 1/4 in.
