This is the story of Leo Marks who left his Fathers London Bookshop and went to fight in WW2 when he was 22 years old. He became head of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) because of his keen ability as a cryptographer. THis is an interesting book for someone that knows alot about WW2 and brings in a different perspective.
