Secret heroes of World War II : tales of courage from the worlds of espionage and resistance / Eric Chaline.
Many of the heroes of World War II are well-known, larger-than-life figures. This book is a tribute to the lesser-known but equally amazing individuals -- some working secretly behind the scenes on the home front and others behind enemy lines -- who made just as significant a contribution to the wartime story. It sheds new and timely light on more than 50 of the often unsung heroes and heroines of the world's most destructive war.
