Operation Columba: The Secret Pigeon Service: The Untold Story of World War II Resistance in Europe by Gordon Corera
5.0
When I saw this book a few months ago at the National Army Museum in London, I had not idea that I would become so engrossed in the central narrative that I would forget that it was a school night and blew past my bedtime, finishing the book in one sitting.
As a young girl, my cousin and his friends tried their hand at raising homing pigeons and since then I have been fascinated by not just homing pigeons, but racing pigeons as well. However, I was not aware of the missive that inspired the author to research this story which is why I found it riveting.
