If one were to read this book without any knowledge of its origin, it would be easy to categorize it as an exceptional World War II spy novel - complete with secret reports, raids, heroes, villains and scientific experiments. The facts are, however, stranger than fiction. This book is not a work of fiction - it is the true stories of those brave souls working behind the scenes and endangering their lives to defeat a common foe - the war machine known as Germany.
