Not all were ill-fated airmen, shot down in the fury of battle. Some were there by design, as volunteers who risked their lives in extremely hazardous assignments. Almost one hundred Canadians served the Allied forces by passing as locals in occupied countries. At the behest of two British secret services, these men made language and custom their costumes and wove themselves into the social fabric of France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Burma, Malaya, and Sarawak. They risked their lives assisting resistance groups in sabotage and ambush missions or in smuggling Allied airmen out of occupied territories. Quiet heroes of the war, these bold Canadians helped to make the brutal and unrelenting warfare of the underground a potent weapon in the Allied arsenal. Out of print for more than two decades, this bestselling book recognizes the unique contribution of these individuals to the underground war effort. It is also a study of unstinting personal courage in the face of overwhelming odds. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSecret service$zGreat Britain 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zCanada 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$vPersonal narratives, Canadian 606 $aSpies$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aGuerre mondiale, 1939-1945$xService secret$zGrande-Bretagne 606 $aGuerre mondiale, 1939-1945$xService secret$zCanada 606 $aGuerre mondiale, 1939-1945$vRe?cits personnels canadiens 606 $aEspions$zCanada$vBiographies 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSecret service 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aSpies 615 6$aGuerre mondiale, 1939-1945$xService secret 615 6$aGuerre mondiale, 1939-1945$xService secret 615 6$aGuerre mondiale, 1939-1945 615 6$aEspions 676 $a940.54/8641 700 $aMacLaren$b Roy$01503006 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780515403321 996 $aCanadians behind enemy lines, 1939-1945$93760162 997 $aUNINA
