About this listen
A thrilling history of MI9 - the WWII organization that engineered the escape of Allied forces from behind enemy lines
When Allied fighters were trapped behind enemy lines, one branch of military intelligence helped them escape: MI9. The organization set up clandestine routes that zigzagged across Nazi-occupied Europe, enabling soldiers and airmen to make their way home. Secret agents and resistance fighters risked their lives and those of their families to hide the men.
Drawing on declassified files and eye-witness testimonies from across Europe and the United States, Helen Fry provides a significant reassessment of MI9’s wartime role. Central to its success were figures such as Airey Neave, Jimmy Langley, Sam Derry, and Mary Lindell, who was one of only a few women parachuted into enemy territory for MI9. This astonishing account combines escape and evasion tales with the previously untold stories behind the establishment of MI9 - and reveals how the organization saved thousands of lives.

my historical eyes have been opened
It astounds me the ingenuity of people and the willingness to help despite the greatest possible risks. This book cleverly intertwines real lift stories that also further our knowledge of MI9 and the outstanding work it did. Helen Fry narrates her own book clearly and with an underlying tone of passion, admiration and amazement for the individuals that helped so many people escape and evade capture during World War 2.

Excellent listen
This is one of the best Audible books I've listened to in the last 12 months. Superbly narrated by Helen Lloyd. Far surpasses most other books on SOE. It is thoroughly recommended.
