Master Of Spies by František Moravec

The Memoirs of General Frantisek Moravec

A first-person account by the head of Czechoslovak military intelligence, it chronicles the tense years before and during World War II, from evacuating secret files and escaping ahead of the Nazi occupation to rebuilding operations in London and working closely with Allied services. It details clandestine networks in occupied Europe, the parachuting of agents into the Protectorate, and the planning that culminated in Reinhard Heydrich’s assassination, while reflecting on tradecraft, moral compromise, and the bitter postwar turn that led to exile after the communist takeover.
