You bet he was!\u003cbr\u003eWinston Churchill had done it all. In the British Army, he had fought in India and Egypt, been under fire, and returned it; he'd killed the enemy.\u003cbr\u003eChurchill was captured, put in a PoW camp, and escaped, surviving behind enemy lines for weeks.\u003cbr\u003eHe'd invented tanks, floating harbors, grenade launchers; turns out Germans did the worst thing possible... they'd attacked Britain and made Churchill mad.\u003cbr\u003eWith his back to the wall in 1940, \u0026amp; Nazi invasion imminent, not only did Churchill use every trick in the book... with the uncovering of new WW2 secrets, it turns out he actually wrote the book! Literally!\u003cbr\u003eBut Churchill's Secret Armies is not a biography of the famous leader; it is a look at the fruits of his labor, the book discloses the plethora of special forces, units, and departments, Churchill formed to \"get the job done\".\u003cbr\u003eThis was not a gentleman's war; this was back-to-the-wall fighting dirty, and Churchill was a master.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the birth of the well-known British Commandoes to the obscure Cichociemni (Polish Special Forces)...\u003cbr\u003eFrom the code breakers at Bletchley Park to the men of the 712th Survey Flotilla (who surveyed the Normandy beaches)... \u003cbr\u003eChurchill's Secret Armies is a page-turner for the history buff, and an absolute must-read for anyone who 'thinks' they know 'all' about World War Two.","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50079175966960,"sku":"9781532793387","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781532793387","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
