One of the first American views of the MIS-X program. Previously the British have written about their experiences from the MI-9 and MI-19 perspective. Much of the work of this unit has been still kept classified. There was some unit activity in Southeast Asia and elsewhere in Japanese controlled POW camps. My grandfather was one of the unit's commanders and later CO of Fort Hunt at the end of the war.
A differnt look at the POW situation suring the secondworld war. This is the story of a small but efficentoperation to smuggles supplies to American POW's inside camps in Germany. What was smuggled, how it was done, and how the prisoners communicated their wishes back home without German knowledge. This is really James Bond type stuff in World War II. A nice read with good information.
