Synopsis

This is the remarkable true story of a young Englishman who, for six perilous months, operated a secret radio set under the very noses of the Gestapo. He parachuted into enemy-occupied Belgium on a moonlit night in 1943. From then on Jacques Doneux lived with danger for twenty-four hours a day. This gripping story of his hazardous secret mission will rank as one of the most detailed, informative accounts of the day-to-day life of a wartime secret agent ever published.

Doneux records the series of incredible adventures that befell him from the moment he jumped into Belgium from a Halifax bomber to the epic 23-hour trek across the Pyrenees by which he escaped into Spain from German-occupied Europe.

Jacques Doneux, an Englishman of Belgian descent, was born in London in 1908. He joined the Royal Army Service Corps as a private in 1941 and a year later volunteered for duty with SOE. His intimate knowledge of pre-war Belgium and his mastery of languages led to his selection for the mission described in the book.
