Six Gentlemen, One Goal: the Destruction of Hitler\'s War Machine In the spring of 1939, a top-secret organization was founded in London: its purpose was to plot the destruction of Hitler\'s war machine, through spectacular acts of sabotage.
Giles Milton\'s Churchill\'s Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a gripping and vivid narrative of adventure and derring-do that is also, perhaps, the last great untold story of the Second World War..
Led by dapper Scotsman Colin Gubbins, these men---along with three others---formed a secret inner circle that, aided by a group of formidable ladies, single-handedly changed the course of the Second World War: a cohort hand-picked by Winston Churchill, whom he called his Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Another, William Fairbairn, was a portly pensioner with an unusual passion: he was the world\'s leading expert in silent killing, hired to train the guerrillas being parachuted behind enemy lines.
Now, his talents were put to more devious use: he built the dirty bomb used to assassinate Hitler\'s favorite, Reinhard Heydrich.
One of them, Cecil Clarke, was a maverick engineer who had spent the 1930s inventing futuristic caravans.
The guerrilla campaign that followed was every bit as extraordinary as the six men who directed it.
