- Michael Goodman, BBC History Magazine

But now, another clandestine intelligence operation that played an equally important part in the war has come to light.’ - Tony Rennell, Daily Mail (War Books of the Year)
MI9: A HISTORY OF THE SECRET SERVICE FOR ESCAPE & EVASION IN WWII

'A worthy tribute to the courage, ingenuity and spirit of men and women who overcame incredible odds and risked torture, deportation and death to win freedom both for themselves and for Europe.' - Nigel Jones, BBC History Magazine

'Once started, this is an impossible book to put down,' Brigadier Webb-Carter OBE MC in Aspects of History Magazine
‘Second World War buffs will enjoy Helen Fry’s engrossing tale M19, which details the exploits of the secret organisation that rescued allied troops from behind Nazi lines. The gadgets they used – including playing cards that peeled back to reveal maps – are like something dreamt up by James Bond’s mad scientist Q.’—Martin Chilton, independent.co.uk
