They Fought Alone: The True Story of the Starr Brothers, British Secret Agents in Nazi-Occupied France by Charles Glass

3.0
Non-series / Non-fiction
Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
Why I added this book to my TBR pile: I've read a few non-fiction books about WWII resistance spies, as well as fictional accounts such as in the Night Soldiers and Billy Boyle series. I knew about the Starr brothers for a while before I put this on my list.
Will I read more by this author / about this subject?Probably Not Maybe Definitely
I like the subject and will seek out more stories. This book was a little lackluster compared to A Woman of No Importance. I didn't get an emotional feeling for these men like I have in other books.
The narrator was Allan Corduner. I enjoyed him. He sounded like the man who read The Raj Quartet, but I couldn't find anything to support my assumption. I guess it's just an imperial English voice.
