Kill the Fuhrer : Section X and Operation

During the Second World War, Britain's top secret Special Operations Executive plotted to assassinate Hitler. A small department of SOE known as Section X had the tantalisingly complex task of investigating how, when and where the deed might be done. Only Section X and a handful of other SOE staff knew of this top secret project, codenamed Operation Foxley.

Denis Rigden worked as a journalist in Britain and Kenya before joining the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. He is married, with a son and daughter.
