It is adapted from the book The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill’s Secret Warriors Set Europe on Fire and Birthed Modern Black Ops by Damien Lewis.
The operation was “the first ever special forces organization established during World War II by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials, including [James Bond] by Ian Fleming.”
“Ultimately, their bold approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for Britain’s SAS and modern Black Ops warfare,” the synopsis reads.
