The Secret Forces of World War II by Philip Warner (Granada, London, 1985) is a historical survey of Allied special and secret military units and operations during the Second World War. It charts how unconventional forces — such as commandos, parachutists, resistance groups, intelligence and sabotage teams like the SAS, SBS, SOE and others — evolved from ad-hoc beginnings into highly effective contributors to the Allied war effort. The book combines narrative history with individual stories, exploring their origins, training, major operations and impact across different theatres of the war, emphasising their crucial, though often overlooked, roles in intelligence, sabotage, guerrilla warfare and support of resistance movements.
