Book Review of The Brenner Assignment: The Untold Story of the Most Daring Spy Mission of World War II

The Brenner Assignment: The Untold Story of the Most Daring Spy Mission of World War II
reviewed on


This book recounts the experiences of U.S. OSS agents' efforts behind German lines in WWII. It reads better than the best spy fiction and takes you with these young men as they work with partisans to help defeat the Nazis. Some pay the price with their lives. The author expertly makes you feel almost as if you are there with them.
