Episode 26: The Role of Ungentlemanly Sabotage in Winning Wars and Saving Lives
On this episode of Resuming Debate I am joined by Giles Milton to discuss his book Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: The Mavericks Who Plotted Hitler's Defeat. The book tells the incredible story of the decisive impact of a special British division aimed at sabotaging the German war effort through clandestine and “ungentlemanly” means. This story is highly relevant now, as the sabotage of Russian supply lines appears to be playing a significant role in the conflict in Ukraine.
In addition to tactical and strategic issues, we also reflect on the important moral questions about guerrilla warfare.
