While the opposing armies of great powers moved back and forth across across Europe during World War 2, small bands of men conducted a largely unknown war behind the lines. These men were resistance fighters, fearless, deeply patriotic, and determined to drive the axis invaders from their homelands. They committed acts of sabotage, harassed occupying troops, interfered with supply lines, kept their national armies and governments in exile informed of enemy plans and movements. They want little glory, for they were, of necessity, anonymous the whole story of their bravery and service to the allied cause may never be fully known, but their spirits linger even in those countries where they risked their lives to free their homelands from Nazi oppression only to see them fall into communist hands. Here is exciting and often tragic story of those men and women who organised and fought a secret war in Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hollande, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Greece, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Denmark, Norway, France and Luxembourg.
