Acerca de esta escucha

Albanian Assignment is one of the finest special-forces memoirs to come out of the Second World War. Fans of Damien Lewis, Ben Macintyre, and Patrick Leigh Fermor will be enthralled by this book.

In 1940 Winston Churchill established the Special Operations Executive to "set Europe ablaze".

Three years later David Smiley and Billy McLean were parachuted into Northern Greece and crossed the border into Albania to do just that.

For the next eight months Smiley mediated between the competing resistance factions and organized them to conduct ambushes and acts of sabotage on fascist armies and infrastructure.

His actions were rewarded with an immediate Military Cross, yet his work in Albania was not done. Soon after he had left the country, tensions between the Albanian resistance movements had deteriorated into open conflict, meaning that Smiley and McLean were once again forced to parachute into the country to reconcile the guerrilla forces while continuing the fight against the Nazi forces.

Smiley's account of his time in Albania is a remarkable book that uncovers the operations and its difficulties of an SOE agent in one of the forgotten fronts of World War Two.

World War II special ops in Albania

I felt like this was a really fascinating book because there’s really not much out there regarding Albania or history so this book does a good job of giving a little bit of Albanian history, and what went on with trying to help Albanians fight against the Nazis and the Italians during the world war. I thought it was an interesting book.
