Secret Alliances

Special Operations and Intelligence in Norway 1940–1945
Book • 2019
Secret Alliances examines Anglo–Norwegian wartime cooperation, showing how SIS coast‑watching, SOE operations and Norwegian resistance work together to monitor and disrupt German naval and logistical activity in Norway between 1940 and 1945.

Tony Insall draws on British and Norwegian archives to recount intelligence, sabotage and special operations—including the role of coast‑watching stations, seizures that aided Bletchley Park, and operations against the Tirpitz—while discussing inter‑agency tensions and political context.
