Sons of Odysseus
SOE Heroes in Greece
by Alan Ogden
Sons of Odysseus - SOE Heroes in Greece is military historian and travel writer Alan Ogden's follow-up book to his acclaimed A Spur Called Courage - SOE Heroes in Italy. He repeats the formula of picking exceptional SOE heroes – this time fifty who operated behind enemy lines in Greece during WW2. They were remarkable men and Sons of Odysseus highlights their incredible bravery, and the key contributions their activities made to the Allied war effort in hampering Germans in the eastern Mediterranean. Written with fascinating detail, much of the research for the profiles has been from original unseen sources as are many of the accompanying photographs.
“Sons of Odysseusis a fascinating study that sheds important light, long overdue, on the remarkable exploits of a selection of SOE personnel dispatched to fight in enemy-occupied Greece.” Dr. Roderick Bailey, author of the critically acclaimed The Wildest Province: SOE in the Land of the Eagle and Forgotten Voices of the Secret War: an Inside History of SOE
