Det Hemliga Andra Världskriget - Spioner, Specialoperationer Och Underrättelseverksamhet 1939-1945
Upptäck andra världskrigets hemligheter och mysterier! I Det hemliga andra världskriget berättas en rad fascinerande, tidigare dolda, historier bakom det första verkligt högteknologiska kriget. Den globala storkonflikten präglades av pansarvagnar, slagskepp och stridsflygplan. Samtidigt sporrade den utvecklingen av avancerad topphemlig teknologi. Spionage-, radio-, radar- och krypteringsteknik, såväl som motståndsrörelser, sabotörer, vapenforskningsprogram och specialoperationer beskrivs och utforskas här in i minsta detalj. I boken förklaras idéerna bakom de hemliga vapnen och vilken påverkan dessa hade på krigsutgången. Några av dem, som Hitlers mirakelvapen och Manhattanprojektet, skulle komma att förändra världen för all framtid. Boken är rikt illustrerad med figurer, kartor och fotografier från arkiven efter alla betydande aktörer, både inom de allierade styrkorna och axelmakterna. GAVIN MORTIMER är en prisbelönt och bästsäljande författare till flera böcker om andra världskriget. Det hemliga andra världskriget är hans första bok på svenska.

David Stirling: The Phoney Major: The Life, Times and Truth about the Founder of the SAS
Aristocrat, gambler, innovator and special forces legend, the life of David Stirling should need no retelling. His formation of the Special Air Service in the summer of 1941 led to a new form of warfare and Stirling is remembered as the father of special forces soldiering. But was he really a military genius or in fact a shameless self-publicist who manipulated people, and the truth, for this own ends? In this gripping and controversial biography Gavin Mortimer analyses Stirling's complex character: the childhood speech impediment that shaped his formative years, the pressure from his overbearing mother, his fraught relationship with his brother, Bill, and the jealousy and inferiority he felt in the presence of his SAS second-in-command, the cold-blooded killer Paddy Mayne. Stirling lived until old age, receiving a knighthood and plaudits from military forces around the world before his death in 1990. Yet as Mortimer dazzlingly shows, while Stirling was instrumental in selling the SAS
