MI9 A History of the Secret Service for Escape and Evasion in World War Two

Helen Lloyd's narration of this fascinating audiobook about the British intelligence agency MI9 mirrors the calm intensity of its operatives. Author Helen Fry has written a comprehensive history of the organization that rescued Allied fighters who were trapped in enemy territories during WWII. Details remained largely untold due to Britain's Official Secrecy Act, which muzzled participants and historians long after the war ended. Lloyd's narration--well paced and using just the right amount of nuance and emotion--makes a surprising difference in one's listening experience. One expects an intense presentation, yet Lloyd's deliberate and steady tone more vividly brings to life the many individuals who collaborated across nations to help Allies escape from and elude the Nazi war machine.
