FOLLOWING CHURCHILL`S DIRECTIVE TO `SET OCCUPIED EUROPE ABLAZE,` THE SOE AND LATER ITS AMERICAN SISTER ORGANIZATION, THE OSS, WERE DEPLOYED ACROSS THE CONTINENT. OUTNUMBERED, SURROUNDED, AND IN GREAT PERIL, THESE BRAVE AGENTS WERE ARMED WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF DEVICES TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE THEIR OBJECTIVES, INCLUDING NUMEROUS PIECES OF SABOTAGE EQUIPMENT AND CUNNING BOOBY TRAPS. THIS BOOK EXAMINES THESE DIFFERENT PIECES OF EQUIPMENT AND THE TECHNICALITIES INVOLVED IN DEPLOYING THEM EFFECTIVELY, AS WELL AS DISCUSSING THE SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT DEVELOPED BY SPECIAL FORCES UNITS, INCLUDING THE SAS LEWES BOMB.
