About this title

Review:

Historians don't often make good fiction writers, but Michael Gannon's spy novel, Secret Missions, is an entertaining and erudite story set in Florida during the Second World War. An expert on U-boat warfare and the author of Operation Drumbeat and Black May, Gannon makes good use of his knowledge in this tale of a German agent attempting to gather information on the capabilities of American warplanes. The characters are all well drawn, especially the Catholic priest, Father D'Angelo, who learns a vital secret in his confessional but, per the rules of his church, can't reveal the details to anybody. --John J. Miller

From the Publisher:

The author of Operation Drumbeat turns his hand to fiction in this World War II espionage thriller about a Nazi agent who slips into Florida searching for vital information about the capabilities of U.S. fighters and bombers.
