SOE in France
SOE in France: An Account of the Work of the Special Operations Executive in France, 1940-1944 is a book authored by M.R.D. Foot. First published in 1966, SOE in France is an official history compiled from the records of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), a British organization dedicated to sabotage, espionage, and aid to resistance movements in German-occupied Europe during World War II. "Foot’s book is a comprehensive study and provides a thorough overview of SOE’s work in France...it still provides a source that is debated as much today as it was when it was written over 60 years ago." It is "an unrivaled reference book on the subject." The publication of SOE in France was stimulated in part by criticism of the organization by authors such as Jean Overton Fuller and politicians such as Irene Ward.
