MI9: A History of the Secret Service for Escape and Evasion in World War Two

Helen Fry | Yale University Press | Hardback

Behind every Allied great escape in WWII there stood the brave and resourceful men and women of MI9, an intelligence organisation almost completely forgotten today. This gripping account draws on extensive research to tell the stories of the agents, “escapers”, and “evaders” who risked everything behind enemy lines — masterminding the escape networks that saved hundreds of Allied lives across occupied Europe.

‘Behind every Allied great escape in WWII there stood the brave and resourceful men and women of MI9, an intelligence organisation almost completely forgotten today… A masterful retelling with a fascinating cast of characters straight out of a John le Carré thriller.’
Mark Felton, author of Castle of the Eagles

‘A thoroughly comprehensive study of a much-neglected secret wartime organisation.’
Nigel West, author of MI6

‘A masterful page-turner you won’t be able to put down. The story of MI9 is one of the most inspiring and exciting of all WWII narratives.’
Alex Kershaw, author of Avenue of Spies

‘Important, informative and engaging. Fry draws an engrossing picture of the commitment and courage of tens of thousands of agents who helped “escapers” and “evaders” in the European theatre of operations.’
Michael Jago, author of The Man Who Was George Smiley
