One of them, Cecil Clarke, was a maverick engineer who had spent the 1930s inventing futuristic caravans. Now, his talents were put to more devious use: he built the dirty bomb used to assassinate Hitler's favorite, Reinhard Heydrich. Another, William Fairbairn, was a portly pensioner with an unusual passion: he was the world's leading expert in silent killing, hired to train the guerrillas being parachuted behind enemy lines. Led by dapper Scotsman Colin Gubbins, these men---along with three others---formed a secret inner circle that, aided by a group of formidable ladies, single-handedly changed the course of the Second World War: a cohort hand-picked by Winston Churchill, whom he called his Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGiles Milton's\u003ci\u003e Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping and vivid narrative of adventure and derring-do that is also, perhaps, the last great untold story of the Second World War.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGiles Milton\u003c\/b\u003e is the internationally bestselling author of a dozen works of narrative history, including \u003ci\u003eSoldier, Sailor, Frogman, Spy, Airman, Gangster, Kill or Die: How the Allies Won on D-Day\u003c\/i\u003e.
