The seven phases of a resistance agent's mission: from infiltration — by air or sea — into an occupied country to exfiltration after the successful completion of the mission.

How did the resistance fighters of France and Western Europe combat the Nazi occupier during the Second World War? How did the Soviet or Yugoslav partisans fight against the German armies?

In this work, the reader will find a clear and precise exposition of the methods and means by which resistance fighters and partisans carried out their intelligence, sabotage and sometimes physical elimination missions against the enemy — German senior officers and collaborators alike.

Parachute techniques, close combat, firing with various weapons, laying mines under ship hulls and many other types of action are presented in this work illustrated with more than 150 drawings, maps, plans, reconstructions, etc.

A compelling book on one of the most tragic chapters of our history, made glorious by the sacrifice of many men and women too little known to the general public.
