Six Gentlemen, One Goal: the Destruction of Hitler's War Machine

In the spring of 1939, a top-secret organization was founded in London: its purpose was to plot the destruction of Hitler's war machine, through spectacular acts of sabotage.

The guerrilla campaign that followed was every bit as extraordinary as the six men who directed it. One of them, Cecil Clarke, was a maverick engineer who had spent the 1930s inventing futuristic caravans. Now, his talents were put to more devious use: he built the dirty bomb used to assassinate Hitler's favorite, Reinhard Heydrich. Another, William Fairbairn, was a portly pensioner with an unusual passion: he was the world's leading expert in silent killing, hired to train the guerrillas being parachuted behind enemy lines. Led by dapper Scotsman Colin Gubbins, these men---along with three others---formed a secret inner circle that, aided by a group of formidable ladies, single-handedly changed the course of the Second World War: a cohort hand-picked by Winston Churchill, whom he called his Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Giles Milton's Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a gripping and vivid narrative of adventure and derring-do that is also, perhaps, the last great untold story of the Second World War.

Nice suit great value
Size: Medium, Color: Light Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Light Blue
Got this suit for my son to wear to a wedding. It arrived a day or two then the except it delivery. I was concerned if it would fit because of the size chart. He is tall and skinny so I got the medium. When he tried it on it fit him perfectly except the waist was a tad too big but with a belt everything worked. I took it to the cleaned to have them press it. Great value, nice quality material, light weight and comfortable for spring/summer events. The wedding was outdoors. He looked very handsome unit. Was very pleased.

Not Seersucker, more a Blue pinstriped suit.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Blue
This is not Seersucker!! Granted the suit will be cool in summer and looks good, but material is a blend. The pants are very large, while the top fits perfectly. I’d go with a regular cut, not slim for better fit. But for the price, no complaints.

Great Suit for Hard to Fit Guys
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey, Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey
This fit my husband perfectly. The elastic in the waistband is great, he was very comfortable all day. The only complaint is that the material is a little thin.
