A collection of stories written for the Reader's Digest magazines about espionage and subterfuge during World War II. I didn't read all the stories, but those I read were well written and highlighted aspects of the war I had not read much about before. Many showed the heroism of citizens in occupied countries, others were about catching spies, daring escapes, and tricking the enemy. All very interesting.

This is a collection of amazing and captivating abbreviated stories from world war two. I've never read more amazing fiction. Very clean too.
