Viac o knihe

Set against the backdrop of World War II, the narrative explores the various sabotage attempts on Gibraltar by German, Italian, and Spanish forces. It highlights the unique strategies employed, such as the Abwehr's recruitment of Spanish saboteurs and the Italian frogmen's underwater operations. The British Secret Intelligence Service's efforts to thwart these attacks are also examined. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials, the book offers an in-depth look at the intelligence operations and their impact on this often-overlooked chapter of Gibraltar's history.
