Giles Milton - A Guerra Suja de Churchill

"A fantastic story, brilliantly told."

Anthony Horowitz

Six men, one goal: to defeat Hitler.

In the spring of 1939, a secret organization was born in London with the goal of planning the destruction of Hitler's war machine through spectacular acts of sabotage. The guerrilla warfare campaign that followed proved to be as extraordinary as the men who led it.

One of them was Cecil Clarke, an engineer who invented several dirty bombs, including the one that killed Reinhard Heydrich, the "Butcher of Prague." Another man was William Fairbairn, a burly retiree specializing in the art of silent killing.

Led by the Scotsman Colin Gubbins, these men—along with three others—were chosen by Churchill, for their creativity and disregard for the rules of chivalry, to form his Ministry of Dirty War.

Told with Giles Milton's enthusiasm and attention to detail, this may be the last great untold story of the Second World War.
