Another Breuer collection of stories from WW II with this one being on the theme of daring missions from behind enemy lines. Thus many of the episodes concern resistant groups who killed and destroyed infrastructure in order to hinder their occupiers plans. Other incidents are of soldiers from both sides who found themselves behind enemy lines because they were shot down or had moved through those lines without realizing it and found ways to hide or return to their own lines again.

Some of the stories are incredible and the sources sited for many are from the authors own files or from interviews he conducted with the individual involved or one who witnessed it. Some are from other books which are sited in under his notes at the back of the book.

Fun to read and can be read in small doses since most entries are only a few paragraphs and rarely more than a page. ( )
