520 2  "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. The guerrilla campaign that followed was
       every bit as extraordinary as the six men who directed it.
       One of them, Cecil Clarke, was a maverick engineer who had
       spent the 1930s inventing futuristic caravans. Now, his 
       talents were put to more devious use: he built the dirty 
       bomb used to assassinate Hitler's  favorite, Reinhard 
       Heydrich. 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. 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 Second World War: a cohort hand-picked by Winston 
       Churchill, whom he called his Ministry of Ungentlemanly 
       Warfare. 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"--|cProvided by publisher.
