M.R.D. Foot

Rédigé par Alain dans la rubrique Hommage et recueillement
Sadly M.R.D. Foot, historian of the Special Operations Executive has died aged 92. He drew on his own wartime experiences to become the official historian of the S.O.E. and was commissioned to write one of the first books on the subject.
 
 Amazingly he was only allowed to meet S.O.E. agents once the book was published and because of his warts and all style of writing he faced many liable cases against him for printing the truth.

His encyclopedic knowledge of S.O.E. landings was legendary.
