"During the Second World War, Britain's top secret Special Operations Executive plotted to assassinate Hitler. A small department of SOE known as Section X had the tantalisingly complex task of investigating how, when and where the deed might be done. Only Section X and a handful of other SOE staff knew of this top secret project, codenamed Operation Foxley." "Here is the full story, based on recently released top secret documents and a number of sources unavailable to the general public. Denis Rigden describes Section X's efforts to discover as much as possible about its intended targets, and questions whether a successful Operation Foxley would have helped or hindered the Allied cause. He also describes the section's masterminding of a great variety of sabotage operations and the widespread dissemination of anti-Nazi black propaganda."--Jacket
