Mission 101: The untold story of five Australian soldiers’ extraordinary war in Ethiopia

In late 1940 a group of five young Australian soldiers set out on a secret mission: one of the Second World War’s most daring operations and the first for Britain’s legendary Special Operations Executive. Duncan McNab tells the little known story of Mission 101, and how a small group of Australians under British command helped to free a nation.
