“A fascinating, thrilling and meticulously researched trip into an old man’s memory, a personal voyage of discovery that unveils a hitherto unknown post-script to one of the most famous acts of resistance in the Second World War. Operation Foursquare leads the reader into the gloomy demi-monde of Nazi-occupied Prague, a world of heroism and betrayal, patriotism, perseverance and loss. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the wartime history of Central Europe.”
Rob Cameron, BBC Prague Correspondent
