Review:
"I much admired David Stafford's previous book, Endgame 1945 and Mission Accomplished, an official history commissioned by the Cabinet Office, exhibits the same elements of a lucid, flowing narrative combined with acute observations about the varied personalities involved...The mission was something of which both Britons and Italians can be rightly proud and Stafford does it full justice" (Christopher Silvester Daily Express)
"Although this is an official history commissioned by the Cabinet Office, it is written with a light touch and Stafford is unafraid to give his own opinions... strong tensions, personal and political are skillfully navigated by Stafford...splendidly chronicled" (Raleigh Trevelyan Literary Review)
"An admirably lucid and carefully balanced account... ...official histories are rarely as absorbing as this" (Nigel Perrin Times Literary Supplement)
"A page-turning history" (Independent)
"[Stafford] offers readers a sound judgment of SOE's contribution to the liberation of Italy and a gripping account of Britain's secret war in Italy...Stafford vividly describes these missions with striking detail and telling quotes" (BBC History Magazine)

Book Description Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. Price sticker on rear cover.; xxiii, [1], 392 pages + plates. Illustrated card covers. Page dimensions: 197 x 127mm. Military history, World War Two, UK's Special Operations Executive. "In May 1945 Italy was liberated from Nazism and Fascism by the British Eighth and American Fifth Armies. By that time the Italian resistance movement had emerged as one of the strongest in Europe - crucially aided and abetted by the UK's Special Operations Executive. As what Winston Churchill graphically described as the 'red-hot rake of the battle-line' advanced bloodily up the Italian peninsula, clandestine cells in the cities and partisan bands in the countryside fought to free their country from enemy occupation and shape the politics of Italy's post-war future. b> ased on recently released official files, documents retrieved from other agencies, diaries, memoirs and personal interviews, Mission Accomplished provides the first ever complete and authoritative account of Britain's secret war in Italy - the heroic exploits, the larger than life participants and the extraordinary, against-the-odds achievements.".
