Jim Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Wow! I read the Kon Tiki in third grade. It shaped my life goals too. So I can blame the book for becoming an adventurous hellion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 A great Story. S.O.E. special Operation Executive and it's many branches are an amazing piece of history, and the start of modern clandestine warfare. There were so many men like this, who took incredible risk, and accomplished all manner of crazy things. That's why I was so disappointed to watch "Inglorious Bastards" trivialize the work of SOE, and Jedburgh teams. BobD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
