Description: Politics of Strategic And Clandestine War : Specialoperations Executive, 1, Hardcover by Wylie, Neville (EDT), ISBN 0415391105, ISBN-13 9780415391108, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Established in the summer of 1940, Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE) was intended to encourage popular resistance in territories occupied by the Axis powers and by the end of the war had come to embrace the range of activities now called covert operations. The ten papers presented by Wylie (international relations, U. of Nottingham, UK) focus on the non-military, more political, of these activities, viewing them as foundational for today's world of covert operations and are of particular interest because they are based on greater access to the files of the than were previously available. Following a discussion of the possibility of distortions creeping into the archival record, of particular concern with regards to covert organizations, and a review of the previous historical writing on the SOE, the papers discuss such topics as relations with the US's Office of Strategic Services in North Africa; the SOE's political support of Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito; the activities of committed communists within the SOE; and the scope of the SOE's involvement in irregular political warfare, psychological warfare, economic warfare, and financial warfare.
