The Secret War of WWII

I had the pleasure to read this book in order to complete a requirement in my Soviet Political development class in college. The book did take some time to read but was well worth the time. Bradley beautifully put together rare information on the international intelligence trading of WWII. Based on information gleamed by both sides the Allies were able to position troop movements and attacks in order to better attack and defeat the armies of Nazi Germany. Suprisingly it lacks the "necessary" chapter on the Jewish extermination camps. All toghether the book is well written and proves an insight on a rarely discussed, or even known about, topic in our nations history.
