520    Robert 'Bob' Maloubier, otherwise known as the French 
       James Bond and as Churchill's Secret Agent, led a life 
       straight out of a spy thriller. At the age of just 19, he 
       escaped occupied France and ended up in England, where he 
       was given intensive training by the Special Operations 
       Executive.Back in occupied France, Maloubier's SOE duties 
       saw him commit large-scale industrial sabotage in Le Havre
       and Rouen, suffer gunshot wounds while evading capture and
       be evacuated in the nick of time by 161 Special Duties 
       Squadron.Always the centre of the action, he was flown 
       back to France alongside fellow agents Philippe Liewer, 
       Violette Szabó and Jean Claude Guiet, just after D-Day, 
       where he operated in guerilla warfare conditions and 
       destroyed vital bridges. After another mission with Force 
       136 in the Far East, the sheer wealth of experience 
       Maloubier gathered during the war made him a perfect 
       candidate to help found the French Secret Service, for 
       whom he proved invaluable.Bob Maloubier was undoubtedly 
       one of the Second World War's most remarkable, courageous 
       and flamboyant characters. His simply and uniquely told 
       personal account of wartime spent as an SOE agent and with
       the French Résistance is poignant, brutally truthful, and 
       is told here for the first time in English.
