A Book of Dirty Tricks

Is anyone familiar with Secret Agents, Spies, and Saboteurs by Janusz Piekalkiewicz?
This book was published William Morrow & Co. in 1973 and printed in Great
Britain. It was originally published in German by Sudwest Verlag in 1969 (Spione, Agenten, Soldaten - Geheime Kommandos im Zweiten Weltkrieg), and details many daring and audacious missions carried out by intelligence agents and saboteurs.

The author, who joined the Polish underground at the age of 17, travelled thousand of miles and spent five years researching archives and interviewing survivors of these missions.
Photographs and illustrations accompany the 27 chapters.

As a postscript, the author carried out the reseaech in the 1960s, when many of the survivors were still alive.
